The two articles that we discussed in class are about Filipino, Islamic, and Saudi Arabian women. Filipino, Islamic, and Saudi Arabian women share some things in common when it comes to their

It wasn 't until 622 AD that the Islamic religion took its lead. It started with the creator, Prophet Muhammad and his followers fleeing to the town of Yathrib and starting the first Hijra movement.

Images in Advertising in the Arab world. I chose this topic because there are many cons to this topic.
