    Judaism vs. Islam In this essay I will review my understanding of the major beliefs and practices of two of the great Abrahamic religions, Judaism and Islam. I will attempt to take the position of proponents of each religion, and delineate areas of agreement and disagreement. What makes this comparison so compelling, and relevant, is the great human suffering that has resulted, and continues to result, from those who cloak their aggression and hatred under the veil of each religion. Judaism is quite liberal on the issue of the exact nature of God.…

Because of such measures, the public has labeled them as dangerous, which in turn as brought up several concerns about civil rights and safety. Although these provisions…

    By definition a Muslim is a follower of the religion of Islam; and Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world behind Christianity. Unfortunately, though, today in the United States many would define a Muslim as someone who is anti-America or even just a terrorist. Bigoted mindsets such as those in the 21st century have had an adverse reaction to how modern day Muslims are received and treated in the United States and aboard. The general public judges the majority of Muslims based on the small percentage of radical Islamic that have caused all the trouble in the past. Such relations have created a society that is Anti-Muslimism without even really understanding the religion in the first place.…

    Descartes’ “Discourse on Method and Meditations on First Philosophy” is ultimately his journey for true knowledge. In his third meditation he tackles the topic of whether or not there is a God. So far he has talked on his methods of how to find true knowledge such as taking everything that he thinks he knows and discarding it as well as only basing what is true on the fact that he can prove it within his own mind. He has concluded this for multiple reasons such as his senses may all be just a dream and the fact that he may have been deceived by an outside force.…

For example, since girls going to school in her home country were seen to be disgraceful, a girl named Shamsia Husseini, got burning acid sprayed on her face. A 15 year old girl, who won the Nobel prize for getting shot in the head, sticked up for all the girls in her home country who wanted to go to school, and still survived. Many of this violence still happens, and it is so dangerous that it many of those horrible stories out there are left off as a person’s life is very close to death.…
