Islam, Christianity, Judaism/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that contrasts and compares these religions. Ryan (2004) points out that non-Muslims are frequently perplexed when they find out that Muslims consider "Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus" and many other biblical personages who are known to both Jewish and Christian scripture to be Muslim (p. 19). This does not mean that Muslims consider these historical figures to have been, literally, followers of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of the Islamic faith. What it does mean is that these men individually surrendered themselves to God and His will. The phrase, "surrendering to God" is the literal meaning of the word "Islam." According to Ryan (2004), the root words in Arabic for both "Islam" and "Muslim" refer to what human beings of faith are called to do, i.e., surrender to God. As this observation suggests, these major world religions have similar roots and commonality. In order to find out more on this topic, this literature search was instigated. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Islamic Communities in the United States Post the September 11, 2001 Attacks
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 6 page paper discussing the change in Islamic communities in the West since the 9/11 terrorists’ attacks. Since the September 11, 2001 terrorists’ attacks on the United States, the Islamic communities in the United States, as well as the rest of the world, have received a great deal of exposure and misunderstanding that they are trying to remedy. Muslims within America are trying to form alliances within their own communities and with other religious communities in their areas to broaden the understanding of their faith, which is based on peace, and make non-Muslims understand that the extremists which exist under Islamic fundamentalism are a very small percentage of their population and do as much damage to their own people and cause as to others. In addition, some communities which were particularly hard hit after the attacks, especially the Muslim community in San Diego, have been promoting relationships with other religions which has in a sense caused a rift to form between Muslim Americans and Muslims in the Middle East.

Islamic Death Penalty
[ send me this paper ]
Monshipouri & Motameni (2000) state there used to be two reasons for the death penalty in Islam, adultery and apostasy.

Islamic Militarism Since 600 A.D.
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page research paper that discusses the history of Islamic militarism. One hears a great deal, in this age of Islamic terrorism, about how the Muslim instigators of indiscriminant violence are not true "Muslims." However, an overview of Islamic militarism shows that, as with Christianity, violence and aggression are integral to Islamic history and that this history very much pertains to the current situation. The writer first discusses Islamic militarism, beginning in 600 A.D. and continuing to the Crusades and then relates this militaristic tradition to Islamic belief and current terrorism. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

Islamic Religion and Civilization
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page observation that recent world events have brought the Islamic religion into western awareness perhaps more so than it has been at any point in the past. To understand Islamic civilization we must look to the religion and the areas and cultures which it has influenced. There are a number of examples which illustrate the contention that religion can be definitively impacted by and impact culture. Growing rapidly in popularity, Islam is in fact spreading across the world. Because of this rapid spread it is particularly sensitive to cultural deviations in its practice. At the same time, however, Islam has influenced numerous regions of the war perhaps more than any other religion in history. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
