World Religions Report Elizabeth HUM 130 Oct 21, 2012 Laura Templeman World Religions Report In this paper I will be discussing what I learned about Christianity and Islamic faiths. How that even though these two religions have differences that they have core similarities and history that show that they have more in common than they do not have in common.

After Muhammad’s death, the Islamic community was faced with confusion and constitutional crisis.

His main focus was to bring the tribes back to Islam that had broke ties to Islam and Mohamad after his death. Succeeding Bakr’s reign was another companion of the
back to the early 2000’s. In 2004, Al Qaeda 's leader, Abu Murab al-Zarqawi, formed Al Qaeda to combat coalition forces (Hashim 1). When Abu Murab al-Zarqawi was leader he created an umbrella organization known as IS. An umbrella organization is an association of people who work together to coordinate activities. In 2006, Zarqawi was killed by a “United States airstrike” and the terrorist went quiet for a while (Hashim 1). Then in 2010, Abu Bakr al Baghdadi rose to power and began rebuilding the Islamic

Few phenomena have had as significant of an impact on modern culture as terrorism. Following the rise of the Islamic State in 2014, acts of terror perpetrated by the would-be caliphate have headlined global news cycles, rife with displays of atrocity and a deadly ambition to create a country ruled by extremist ideals. However, in the broader context of history, what will have the most significant effect on cultural memory is not the fact that these terrorists and ideologues attempted to form a state
As we can prove from this following, Al Qazi Abu Bakr al Baqillani (d.40 A.H.) confines the source of information on what is Makkan and what is Madinan revelation to the report of Sahabah and the views of scholars from Tabi’een generation. The Sahabah were eye-witness to the revelation of the Qur’an

When he died in 2006 in a U.S. bomb raiding, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi took over. The 43 year-old has only been seen in two pictures which were released by Iraq’s Interior Ministry. He usually wears a mask, even when talking to his soldiers. He became the leader
Topic Introduction Being one of the deadliest issues the 21st century have dealt with thus far, more than 250,000 Syrians have lost their life and almost 11 million are displaced from their homes in this nearly five-year long armed conflict. With al-Assad being in power since 1971, many Syrians are displeased with the long-promised economic and political reforms. Hence, many opposition groups (such as the Free Syrian Army) were formed with the goal of bringing down the Assad regime. Amidst
In a post September 11th broadcast, Osama bin Laden’s deputy describes the intermingling of various religions as “the tragedy of al-Andalus.” This reference highlights the overly romanticized characterization of religious tolerance in medieval Spain.
