How Does Islam Affect Iraq

The prominent effect Islam had on Muslims everyday thoughts and actions, portrays how essential the impact of God was in social and governmental relations. Muslim religion was influenced by both the Christians and Jews. Under the guidance of Muhammad the Prophet, Islam became both a meaningful faith and way of life. Unlike just simply “adding” a church like the Christian religion, Islam society was expected to be governed. Their political and religious views and decisions had to be intertwined as one, proving the effect Islam had on everyday lives. For example, the history book The Making of The West, had written, “Arabs had long been used to

The Islamic people had a very powerful culture. Muslims mastered many crafts and trade which helped them grow and prosper. Modern cultures have used and built onto many ideas that the Islamic people had implemented into their own lives. The Islamic people strived in science, philosophy, astronomy, geography, mathematics, and medicine. This DBQ will talk about his topic.

The future relations between the East and the West will be affected by Islamic rule by many different situations. One factor was that Islam had occupied parts of Europe and this has never happened to European civilization before. Another one was the Crusades. The battle of the Crusades was when the Christians won control over the Muslim regions. I think this could affect the different civilizations and how they communicate with one another. Trade could also be affected by future

From around 750 to 1350, Muslims were able to contribute in the making of how our world. It started when the Muslims inherited, adopted, and made advancements through people they have conquered, Greece, Rome, and India. Their advancement allowed Muslim achievements to stand out and make a lasting impact on world cultures; their contributions affected various areas including art, architecture, medicine, agriculture, music, language, and technology. The Muslims were able to make such great contributions because of their preserved knowledge, their civilization, and their ability of simplification. These contributions impacted the world by helping medicine advance, building a trade network, and the growth of mapmaking.

The Islamic religion is currently world's second largest and fastest growing worldwide and there are approximately about 1.6 billion population in the world believe in Islam which is nearly one-fourth. “Over fifty countries have Muslim-majority populations, while other groups of believers are clustered in

His experience left him with the conviction that in all the world there is only one true god Allah, that ruled the universe. Before Islam, many Arabs that lived in Northern Arabia were converting to Christianity. The Arabs were Barbaric people, they raided other Arabic tribes for goods. Muhammed told his followers that a Muslim tribe can not raid another Muslim tribe. As a result, many tribes converted to Islam. The Muslim tribes started to raid the non-Muslim tribes. As a result, many members of the non-Muslim tribes started to convert to Islam. The Islamic empire began to expand in area and in the number of followers. Another way Islam spread was through merchants. Merchants would tell other merchants about Islam and Merchants would tell people about the new religion they heard about. Moreover, Islam has significantly influenced the middle east. Islamic scholars made great advances in mathematics and architecture. For example, the middle east contains many Mosques and building that show characteristics Islamic architecture influence such as Domes, arches, and mosaics. Characteristics Islamic architecture is also seen in Spanish architecture. Moreover, the majority of people that live in the middle east is

Within the past twelve years, Islam has grown to be the second largest religion practiced around the world. Growing up, there weren’t many Muslim people that practiced Islam as there are now. Ten years ago, I would only see about one or two Muslims as I walked down the street, but now I see many more. In Philadelphia, there are more than 200,000 people who are Muslim, and 85% of those people are African-American. In this city when people see African-American Muslims who are garbed up they don’t discriminate against them. To be a Muslim in this society it causes controversy because people are constantly pointing out all of the flaws within them.

Thesis: The ability to practice Islam and feel at peace in Australia is significantly impacted upon by the action of more radical elements within the culture and the way this is treated in the media. Intro: The Islamic faith is the second fastest growing religion in the world. Knowing this fact it is clear that Islam is a major religion which would mean that it has spread through all of the world including Australia. Australians haven't taken Muslims too well because of the events that have occurred such as the Sydney siege which resulted in the death of two Australians. This caused major anti-terrorist raids in Australia most Muslims were affected by this in some way shape or form.

the early period, Islam has been seen as a danger to the political, financial, and religious

Islam is portrayed and is commonly accepted as the most violent and largest direct threat to the West. This is a generalization made by most of the West, but it is not particularly the West or the Islamic people’s fault. There is constant turmoil in Islamic countries in the Middle East and these conflicts are what make the news in the West. The only representation in the media that the Islamic nation gets is that of war. Though most Islamic people are not violent, the select few that do participate in terrorist groups give the rest of the Islam nation a bad image.

The key idea that I found most helpful was “fear”, we are living in a society where many people feel scare to be around Muslims people, they think that they are all terrorist. But they don’t know that his or her lazy boy is more likely to kill them than a terrorist. Many people think that all Muslims are part of ISIS, but there are many Muslims fighting ISIS. Also, they are many of them that are victims of ISIS too. Our society just likes to see the negative side of this problem and want to blame it on religion. Aslam believe that; if people want to blame religion for all of the bad things that religion does, it fine. As long as they are willing to credit religion for all the good things religion does.

SOCIALLY, following the war with Iran in 1988, Iraq was ranked 50 in the 1990 UNDP Human Development Index, which measures national success in education, GDP, and health. Iraq was nearing the top of the middle range of countries in regard to the implementation of basic social services and infrastructure. However, under Saddam’s rule, the prosecution of Shiites and Kuwaitis was a normal occurrence. Called by some a genocide, the period of murder, terror, and persecution faced by these groups was the foundation for a long-lasting unrest within the hearts and minds of Iraqi citizens. The rest of the Iraqi citizens, however, lived normal, comfortable lives. In the late 20th century, many traveled from afar to utilize and learn from Iraq’s intricate network of hospitals and social centers regarded as the best in the region. (CIA 2) However, constant war drained Iraq’s wealth and decimated its people. In the Iraq-Iran War, Saddam Hussein unwillingly forced Iraq into a disastrous attempt to overthrow the Islamist government in Iran. When the dust settled, over 200,000 Iraqis were dead, and more than twice this number were wounded. Iraq’s increasing debt, nearing about 75 Billion, soon had the Arab

The region of the Middle East and its inhabitants have always been a wonder to the Europeans, dating back to the years before the advent of Islam and the years following the Arab conquest. Today, the Islamic world spreads from the corners of the Philippines to the far edges of Spain and Central Africa. Various cultures have adopted the Islamic faith, and this blending of many different cultures has strengthened the universal Islamic culture. The religion of Islam has provided a new meaning to the lives of many people around the world. In the Islamic world, the religion defines and enriches culture and as a result the culture gives meaning to the individual. Islam is not only a religion, it is in its own way a culture. It may be this very

Historians, specifically American historians of the 21st century have demonstrated an interest in the Middle East in Islam, due to Americans frequent contact with the Middle East in the early 1960s. Islam and the Middle East have played a remarkable role in Americans discussion and reaction to the events that took place on September 11th, 2001. During this time Americans were beginning to regard the Middle East, Muslims, and Islam as one entity. Americans and the world regarded the Middle East as Islam and Islam as the Middle East. Thus, this correlation between the two made Muslims say Muslim Americans and Muslims in America as less western and more of another, but they were also seen as untrustworthy individuals. Additionally, prior to the September 11th, attacks and an after effect of September 11, was that Muslim men were violent and Muslim women as oppressed individuals. Thus, the perception of Islamophobia and the threat it brings to western society has impacted the discussion of Islamophobia in America.

Three of the many cultural practices in Iraq include food, marriage, and education. In the Middle East the “the traditional meal includes rice with soup or sauce, and accompanied by lamb and vegetables” (Culture of Iraq 4). Traditionally in Iraq, having an arranged marriage at a young age was a standard procedure. As of roles in the family, girls were mostly taught to take after the roles of their mothers, which was to take care of the household. On the other hand boys were taught to be hard working and dominate. In Iraq, their schools teach children about religion and were very strict. A critical factor in everyday life for them is to hold values and claim responsibility for themselves and their families.
