the first grade. In Alramaqia school, I was gossiping with the other students about our teachers. We had a beautiful fair skinned teacher named ‘Aasha Jani. She was always well dressed and wore tight skirts to school. The boys were saying that she was having affairs with one of the students in her science lab. This was confirmed by one the boys who swore that he saw her from the lab’s window. I could not verify his account but the roamers continued about her and how she was flirtatious with the other visiting fathers to the school. I was fascinated by the amount of attention she received and how her beauty swayed the boy and the men alike. She became the object of my obsession of how to attract attention by being an eye candy.

It says that Lot has warned his people not engage in homosexual acts and not to rape his angels, who appeared in masculine handsome men’s figure. Instead, he offered his daughters to the city’s people in the place of the angels. The story did not make much sense to me, as the Koran asserted that the of people of Sodom and Gomorra were the first to lust men only. However, I never dared to question the Koran and I felt a deep sense of guilt that was taking over me.

    Dariy Tereshchenko AP World Lamb Period 6 Christianity and Islam were two growing and developing religions. These two religions had very different opinions on merchants and their roles in society. The Bible and qurans beliefs both did not seem to match with their ideas on trade. It seem as if Christians believed in that merchants and traders were sinful and warned them with the consequences of participating in trading. Muslims believed that the merchants were a benefit to their society and actually endorsed this way of life.…

These measures consist of “mass arrests, secret and indefinite detentions, prolonged detention of ‘material witnesses,’ closed hearings and use of secret evidence, government eavesdropping on attorney-client conversations, FBI home and work visits, wiretapping, seizures of property, removals of aliens with technical visa violations, and mandatory special registration (215).” Most of these measures have targeted Arabs and Muslims living in the United States.

    Islamic archaeology is defined by Marcus Millwright as archaeology of “the regions where the ruling elite has professed the faith of Islam” (Milwright 2010: 6-7). This paper seeks to explore the ways in which Islamic archaeology can aid in the understanding of Islam and Muslims in the medieval world, by first examining the requirements of Islam and Muslim customary practices, and then evaluating three sources through which they may be manifest in material remains. Archaeological evidence of Muslim burial customs, religious pilgrimage (hajj), and the urban organization of an Islamic city are all ubiquitously indicative of a Muslim cultural framework established by Prophet Muhammad. Muslims adhere to Islam through requirements comprised within…

    However, this definition appears limiting, for Gurnah makes it too clear that this kind of sexual ascendancy applies to males as well, made apparent in the homo-sexual relationship between Hassan and Hussein. Kate Houlden (2013) note that “such figures also work to shore up gendered stereotypes, as Gurnah’s maligned homosexuals operate from a position of power, in contrast to those ‘passive’ women and men over whom they exert control” (Houlden, 2013: 92).Hussein “walked […] with a look of the world about him” (21), his mysteriousness stemming from his sea travels allows him to lull his victims into complacency. It also becomes clear that the “whimsical objects which he handed over […] a Chinese phrase book for [Latif], a rosary […]” (88), “and once a gleaming ebony table for Hassan” (96) draw the family in, and in particular Hassan who falls deeply in love with him. After he has seduced both mother and son into a subordination, as well as Saleh who admits after his dealings with Hussein fall through that he “too had been duped and seduced” (161), it is evident that his economic power and high social status grants him the power to exercise hegemonic masculinity, dominating over males and females both sexually and economically for his own personal gain.…
