Flaws Of The Islamic Religion

An example of patriarchy in Islamic culture is women had to restrict themselves by covering themselves too reassure the dominance of men.

Another reason Islam isn’t considered a turning point in history to many is due to its mix with other cultures. When Islam spread to places such as West Africa and Swahili city-states they adopted Islam but also joined it with their traditional beliefs. To many Islam isn’t a turning point in history due to its beliefs in patriarchy along with the dilution on the religion when mixed with other

However, for Islam, it is a matter of studying the history of its growth. From its beginnings, Islam was unique and continued to remain so. It was highly influential to life in Afro-Eurasia and continues to remain intact today. The establishment of Islam in the seventh century heavily influenced the next millennium in Afro-Eurasia through the conversion of mass populations, the growth and standardization of trade, and new scholarly developments.

Although Islam is the second largest religion in the world with a following of 1.8 billion followers, no other religion has faced more scrutiny and hardship in the past decades. This has been caused by media and governments labeling Islam as a whole with their extremist groups like Al Queda and the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. I even thought that the principals held by these extremist group were more common in Islam than they are.

The Quran and Hadith provide concrete details and instructions to follow in the faith of Islam. No texts from any other religion are as upfront with their beliefs than these. Muhammad was and continues to be a powerful and understanding leader that has led it to becoming the world’s fastest growing religion. I enjoyed studying the powerfulness of Muhammad and the direct voice of God in the Quran that is sets Islam apart from Judaism and Christianity.
