Islam and Christianity are more similar than they are dissimilar In a climate of fear and distrust between Muslims and Christians and in particular between Americans and Middle Eastern Muslims, I believe that it is critical to keep an open mind, stay objective and not allow fear and those who promote hate for the sake of hate, dictate how we think and feel about one another. Islam and Christianity are more alike than they are dissimilar. In the last few years and especially since 2001, there has…

Classic texts stay relevant. They’re ability to appeal to a wide range of audiences gives the text a dominant and famous position in society. To be intellectually and fundamentally captivating is what most texts in International Relations aim to achieve once published but only the intellectual landmark texts are recognised and acknowledged. Barack Obama, the new president at the time, delivered a speech at Cairo University in Egypt in some fashion. Undoubtedly, Obama’s linguistic use is very…

Islamophobia in America A 2011 study by the Pew Research Center puts the number of Muslims in the U.S., at 2.6 million. So that is only 0.7% of the total population in America that follow the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. Prior to September 11, 2001, Muslims were able to coexist in a pluralistic American Society, but since that tragic day in history, things have changed dramatically. The hideous acts performed by Islamic extremists that early autumn morning, has spawned a fear that has…

Women in Islam are often thought to be oppressed and downgraded, or at least that is what is shown by the media. What to consider is, are these portrayals of women in Islam accurate? Does Islam truly hold men above women, condemning the rights women have? Are women in Islam truly helpless or is that what is being shown to believe? By looking at the holy Quran, scholarly articles, and books, women do have equal rights in Islam. The role of women in a household will aid in determining a woman’s…

culture. Therefore, language is not restricted on sounds, there are several ways of language, such as, writing, body language, and fine art. Islamic culture is entirely connected to Arabic language. The holy Quran was revealed by God to the prophet Muhammad in Arabic. In addition, Arabic is the first language in Islam that allows Muslims…

Every iconic story is basically the same thing. Successful and well-known stories, books, and movies all follow the path that was first laid out by the Epic of Gilgamesh. Joseph Campbell wrote out this path of thirteen steps in which every hero follows on his quest. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone is no exception. Harry, the hero of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone follows the same steps that Gilgamesh, the hero of the Epic of Gilgamesh followed over 4,000 years ago. The first step…

Islam, the religion of the Muslims. A monotheistic faith regarded as revealed through Muhammed as the Prophet of Allah. Islam has gone through a great deal of scrutiny due to its violent history originating in the early days of the prophet Muhammed, who preached violence to his disciples in the Muslim religious text the Qur’an. A well known Christian evangelist and author Pat Robertson stated, “Although many Muslims are peaceful, Islam is not a religion of peace.” There is a consistent theme…

Veiling is symbolic to Muslim women because by being modest, they are respecting God 's teachings (Qur 'an 35:39). Veiling can be a cultural, moral and religious action to promote modesty as well as self respect. According to the Qur 'an, veiling is necessary to ensure purity of the heart for both men and women. ( Qur 'an 33.53) " Islam does not require women to wear black veils, nor to hide their faces, but to cover their bodies from the neck to the wrist and foot" (Islam, Masqood Ruqaiyyah…

the Diving Son of God, Muslims believe only Allah is divine and simply see Jesus on the same level as the prophet Mohammad. I learned why Muslims protest against the term “Mohammedans” to describe themselves because it sounds as if they worship Muhammad as their god similar to the “Christ” in “Christianity”. In Afghanistan, religion even influences the tolerance for beggars in the Muslim world since some people want to see where their charity goes as opposed to sending a check to an…
