Islam is a religion that is often misinterpreted by many. This misinterpretation happens because of radical Islamism’s who take the Quran and twist it into something it is not. Using the Quran as leverage for terrorist attacks is just one key component of the ideology. Radical Islam thinkers such as Osama Bin Laden, and Sayyid Qutb demonstrate the ultimate component of the ideology by completely attacking the Western civilization, and oppose everything it represents. In Qutb’s book, he states that democracy has been proven to not work in the Western world, therefore Islam are completely against the idea. Another main idea of Radical Islam is when Qutb says that the world today is in a state of “Jahiliya”, which means that the world has separated…show more content… Rather, it is the Quran that sets all the rules and standards, by which the individual must follow. In the article, “Democracy is in Recession” author Thomal L. Freidman gives perfect examples, which reflects he notion that radical Islam can never be democratic.

According to the article “Half a Century Later, Mad Men's Peggy Olson Is Still Waiting for Paycheck Fairness”, Mad Men star, Olsen discusses how the current day reflects on the show’s era, the 1960s. Today, women earn 78 cents four every dollar a man earns, and the number even lowers for minority females. Hispanic women make 56 cents per male dollar, and African American women make 64 cents per male dollar. The wage gap issue has been going on for years, yet for some reason there is little to no progression. Even Olson states that she does not get paid the same as her male co-stars. In order for America to achieve any kind of equality, there first needs to be the basic human right of equal wages for
