Answer 1

Islam, being the second largest religion of the world, preponderates across Asia, Middle East, and Africa. Initiating from Indonesia in the east, it extends through Pakistan and Bangladesh in the Indian subcontinent. Continuing through the lengths of previous Soviet States of Central Asia, it stems into Middle East, and North Africa also It represents half of the total population of Malaysia and Nigeria, and serve as well substantial minorities in countries such as the Philippines, Tanzania, and Trinidad-Tobago (Handelman, H. 2011. 58- 134).

The Islamic world, for its richness in natural resources and geographical situations, has always been the focal point of the US Strategic Foreign Policies. Apart from this intervention, the US maintained friendly ties with the Islamic world, but after the occurrence of some serious indents in the past, the super power invade many of the Islamic Countries or in a way engaged itself in the mainstream Islamic movements.

Although the then US policy to tackle the radical groups was considered appropriate by the Western World but with the passage of time the public opinions have experienced a shift and change. The increasingly adverse impact has resulted in criticism for the foreign policy even among the US population. The United States have already deployed an enormous militia to these places in order to combat the Terrorist activities, but sending in further troops is likely to swirl sentiments which are against the government policies, as happened in 1993 when the US military troops faced failure after intervening Somalia territory (Handelman, H. 2011. 58- 134).

For the United States, the popularity based test in Muslim grounds is similarly astute.
