Exam question bleg

The study guide for the next exam (3/7-3/8) has been posted to the Blackboard course website. I'm still looking for a couple of good questions, though, so I'd like to see what you all come up with.

So, what questions would you ask on this exam? I generally look for questions that require students to demonstrate their understanding of ideas presented in multiple readings. And I generally list some of those authors in parentheses after the question. But I'm open to trying new kinds of questions.

If you have a good idea, attach it in the comments to this post. Thanks!

Here's a good one: If you could spend a day as any terrorist, who would you be and why?

What are the greatest strengths and weaknesses of religion-motivated terrorist organizations? How do their motives differ from secular terrorist groups? Or are they more similar than different? Choose a side and support it with concrete examples from current news, the blog, and the readings.
