was preaching his faith. He focused on three themes:Allah was the God, the rich shouldn’t share with the poor, and that men would have a final judgement before Allah. Muslims call Muhammad’s flight from Mecca the hegira and in their calendar it’s the same day as the day Jesus Christ was born. In the cities that followed the Muslim religion they would have a mosque that would usually be at the highest point of the town.…

the time of Muslim rule by the Moors in Spain marks a unique moment in the middle ages whereby Muslims, Jews and Christians intermingled with some level of religious tolerance. It is also an important topic because the achievements the Moors brought to Spain and the rest of Europe are often ignored by academics. The purpose of this essay is to highlight the important achievements of the Islamic Moors in Muslim Spain. However I will restrict my analysis to why the achievements of Muslim Moors in…

think about the Arabic group of people the stereotypes I think of are muslim culture and they all wear Hijabs; or they all are terrorist or villains. I think that typically Americans think all arabs practice muslim culture when most of them actually practice christianity.…

Because I do not wear a hijab and enjoy wearing bodycon dresses, I am seen as less of an Arabic Muslim who’s embraced every other aspect of her culture and more as an Arab who’s “lost herself” and her heritage; I’m “too Muslim” for my country, but I’m not “Muslim enough” for my culture. Walking to school every morning in a pair of blue jeans and converse, I am an American. I say the Pledge of Allegiance, speak English, and am influenced by my American peers. Yet, the moment I step foot into my…

law in France. The law applied to all types of religions in France, but it targeted mostly Muslims. In particular, Muslim women were targeted for the use of headscarves, which is a piece of fine material worn by Muslim women to cover up their hair; the veil is a cloth that covers the whole body except the eyes.

For years Arabs have played the role of villains, barbarians, seducers, hustlers and thieves. After the 9/11 attack, new images have occurred, they are now labeled as terrorist and bombers also. Arabs have become the all-purpose villains or buffoons across all American media, including…

post-Cold War world the West’s search for a new other manifests an alarming tendency to centre on the Muslim world, the author argues that a better understanding of Islamic life is desperately needed.…

anything that identifies with Arabs and they simply know them from motion pictures and TV shows, and they for the most part are in the picture of fear based oppressor so they take of this point and speak to Arabs and Arab women’s (ladies) without concentrating on them or comprehension them and they generalization them as the way they need the general population to consider them. They prevail in this point the vast majority of the Westerns when they come to consider Arabs or Arab women’s…

The political cartoon titled “Who has damaged Muhammad more?” by Signe Wilkinson that was published on 08/01/2015 speaks so much truth about Islam in this day and age. As a Muslim I greatly appreciate that the artist did not put a picture of the prophet because it is forbidden to do so and there is a reason behind it. In Islam, there is always a reason why something is “Haram” in this case pictures of the prophet is forbidden because the prophet feared that people would worship his image…

jumping off point but was inadequate. While her comparison of Bahrain and Sweden using Hofstede’s cultural dimensions (Steers, 2013) and her study of the structure of Arab extended families and the role this family structure plays in the decision-making process was a good start, she failed to study up on the changing business landscape in Arab nations.
