Response: This political cartoon is about the war on terrorism and the way that non-radical Muslims view the terrible situations going on with ISIS and other terrorist groups. I think that the cartoonist's opinion on "jihad on the jihad" is made very clear as well as an obvious sadness over the issues portrayed in his cartoon. I can see that the other side to this argument would be from the terrorist's or radical Muslim's point of view and that would be to say that the Qur'an commands that they do such things.  I do find this cartoon to be persuasive because it really brings out the worst instances, as well as portraying the sadness from a Muslim's point of view. I also find this cartoon persuasive because I agree that there should be an end to the fighting and appalling crime that goes on in the world today. Although the article was persuasive, I think the cartoonist could have portrayed people taking action on the issues rather than just thinking about them to make the cartoon more persuasive. Overall, I really liked the way the cartoonist showed these issues and I agree with what he is saying in it.
