Perspectives on 911 and Terrorism

Welcome to Perspectives on 911!

Course Introduction: This class is designed to give students a quick overview of terrorism. The class is fast paced and on certain days, complex topics such as World War I will be addressed in one class period. There will also be an emphasis on studying Islam but primarily to understand how terrorists acting in the name of Islam have used Islam to justify their actions. There will also be discussions about the definition of terrorism as well as acts of terrorism committed by Irish victims of imperialism and other groups that have no connection to Islam or Arab nationalism. Hence the title "perspectives on 911." For more information about the class, visit the "course overview" tab.
