Sam is defending Muslim religion by being peaceful. At the same time, William is opposite about being a peaceful religion as Christianity is.

    Christianity and Islam have many similarities and some fundamental differences. In God is Not One (2010), Stephen Prothero emphasizes the differences among the faiths. In contrast, in Huston Smith’s book, The World’s Religions (1958), Smith emphasizes what religions have in common. The differences among the faiths were mainly addressed by Stephen Prothero – such as: the Bible and the Qur’an, sin, and what happens after death. Opposed to Smith, who mainly focused on what the religions have in common – belief in one God, belief in the virgin birth, and the second coming of Jesus.…

The Son of Sam law has been in effect in the past, present, and even has been challenged as unconstitutional. While in prison a serial killer or con-artist can profit off of their crime by writing a novel or selling movie rights about their crime and make millions. That’s why the Son of Sam law was created. On July 29, 1976 David Berkowitz started his killing spree (“David Berkowitz”).…

Rather, in times of conflict, religious warfare protected the foundations and peoples of each religion, while also allowing for immense growth and expansion occurred. As a result, teachings about conflict are abundant and can be found within the holy books of Christianity, Islam, and Hinduism alike.…

    Hello Brenda, I agree with your response because as you mentioned Beth actions where a clear sign of desperation resulting from Sam’s constant abuse. As you mentioned, the Rational Theory was present among Beth and Sam’s relationship since Sam knew his violent actions would not become a huge problem since he isolated Beth from her family. As any other abuser partner, Sam attained to control Beth’s actions by limiting her involvement with others, as well as using justifications towards his violent actions. However, deterrence theory is also present among Sam and Beth relationship since the use of power and control that Sam used over Beth was a way to shift responsibility from his actions.…

    Third War Of Religion

    According to Dr. E.L.Knox, a former history professor at Boise State University, neither the Catholics nor the Huguenots were prepared for war, so peace from the war was settled a year later in March of 1668. However, little time had passed before another conflict arose. The Cardinal of Lorraine attempted to kidnap two allies of the Huguenots, The Prince of Condé and Odet de Coligny, a French aristocrat, and this action started the Third War of Religion. The Huguenots lost the two major battles in the Third War, and both sides decided to sign the Peace St. Germain in August of 1570. This treaty soothed tensions by guaranteeing Huguenots the right to hold public office and betrothing Catherine’s daughter, Margaret of Valois, to the son of Jeanne…

    Thesis: Saki, in The Interlopers says, We are trapped by our own ill will; to be free of it we need to put aside our violence by making peace and realizing the unimportance of it. We focus on ill will and let it consume us. As did Ulrich von Gradwitz and Georg Znaeym did, “as boys they had thirsted for one another’s blood, as men each prayed that misfortune might fall on the other.” (Saki 7) They were raised into despising one another due to their family’s feud (that started generations ago over a piece of land), and always waiting for the chance to see the other in pain.…

    Aberjhani once said, “On either side of a potentially violent conflict, an opportunity exists to exercise compassion and diminish fear based on recognition of each others humanity. Without such recognition, fear fueled by uninformed assumptions, cultural prejudice, desperation to meet basic human needs, or panicked uncertainty of the moment explodes into violence.” In other words, on both sides of a possibly violent clash, a chance exists to exercise kindness and reduce terror based on the recognition of each other humanity. Without such recognition, violence could erupt at shocking or uncertain moments. In this novel, Things Fall Apart, Chinua Achebe tells us how two cultures keep clashing because of religious differences.…

    Podcast Reflection #2: Islam Podcast After listening to the podcast, I began to think about the unique relationship between Sunni and Shia, as well as the complex relations between different Muslim schools of thought. In another course recently, I read a novel by Nafisa Haji, a Muslim author, called The Sweetness of Tears. The novel highlights the complex relationship between Sunni and Shia, and outlines a few Shia practices that can be viewed as controversial. Prior to reading the novel, I had not considered the differences between Sunni and Shia, or how even within the same school of thought, there can be disagreements on interpretations.…

    From 1562 to 1598, several religious wars were fought with the Huguenots. It has been a strong believe that Religion has played a key role in wars throughout history. Particularly interesting is understanding why religious wars happen over the Bible what is based on love, peace, and order. Many argue that such things as politics, power, and material goods are the causes of these wars, whereas others claim that it is a religion which is the main reason. From my religious background, I think it’s all the above, power, control, taxes, corruption, greed, and Religious freedom.…

    Wars are a part of Human nature. Humans have been going to war since before recorded history. The first ever recorded in history “took place in Mesopotamia in 2700 BCE between Sumer and Elam” (Mark), and even in these times it was fought for the same reasons as they are now. Greed, power, beliefs, and religion. No matter when in time there will always be someone who dislikes a single or group of people because their life is different from theirs, and it is these “differences” between people which cause war, but war is never the answer.…
