Before reading Skeletons on the Zahara, I was already aware of the brutality some Arabs/Muslims use against Christians. The treatment of the sailors did not shock me as much as the amount of civilizations that inhabited the Saharan desert at the time. This resulted in a lot of trading for the Christian slaves; their system of trading was very surprising. The higher the ranking of the crew, the more valuable you were to trade, even though their skills as sailors were never used in the desert. Although

“Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States,” Donald J. Trump, December 7, 2015 (CNN.) America, the land of the free and the home of the brave.

In post-classical history, Islam was recognized for its loyalty to Allah and its precise rules of religion. Muhammad, founder of Islam, was born from a nomad-merchant class, giving a pulse to the traveling trait of Islam and its literal veins of expansion throughout the Eurasian borders.

be similar to a YMCA (Young Men’s Christian Association) except instead of Christian it would be Muslim. Similarly to YMCA, Park51 would be open to people of all religion and would create a community. Yet, in the article it specifies how Park51 was very offensive to the victims of 9/11 because it would contain a mosque, which is related to Muslims. The author of the article was using the term Muslim and terrorist as a synonym. The author’s intentions were to display his or her view of the

In my humble opinion, it is plain and simple in my mind that Japanese Internment was a clear violation of the Fifth Amendment of US Constitution. Japanese Americans were unfairly denied their rights to due process even though the federal government seemed to be acting in the best interest of Americans during an active war.
