Alot of aggression in this forum, but given the topic... A decent effort all in all.
However, you haven't cited any sources, which if you have used but not credited is plagarism, and if not used at all then its not a essay but a 'polemic'.
Also, its only good form to cite so we can do the background research required to make an informed decision.
Ah yes I forgot, I based this essay on a number of events and off several books I have read, I quoted nothing but I'll list my sources below.
"Inside the Resistance" by Zaki Chehab
"My Jihad" by Aukai Collins
"Arabs at War: A Military History" by Kenneth Pollack
"Strategery" by Bill Sammon
