Recommended: Muslim empires the rise and fall
In 610 CE A man named Muhammad was outside of a cave meditating and soon began hearing voices. As he listened he heard them say “Give birth to a religion called Islam.” Islam began to spread faster than any other religion. Other religions disagreed with this because they didn’t want to believe that Islam was bigger and better than their religion. After about 140 years, many followers of Islam had created an empire that ruled the Middle East and spread across to North Africa to Europe.
Long ago, during the 7th century, there was a man named Mohammed (PBUH) who lived in a city called Mecca. One day, while he was meditating in the cave of Hira, a voice came to him and said “Proclaim!” He then starts to preach and spread the teachings of a religion known today as, Islam. As he began to teach, he started to gain followers and supporters. Eventually, after many conflicts and Mohammed’s (PBUH) death, the religion was able to spread much bigger rather than the Arabian Peninsula.
Islam spread very quickly and in 624 CE, Muhammad changed the direction of prayer from Jerusalem to Mecca, signifying a whole new religion being
Europe, between 1300-1700, made strides that linked the ideas of the past to those of the present.

When reading wants by Gracie Paley, I noticed her lack of use of quotation marks in dialogue. Every line of including spoken words we prefixed with I said, he said, or she said, hence why I was never confused about when someone was talking or who was talking. I think that, possibly, the authors’ intention behind this was to showcase the couples poor communication habits. Throughout the story, I noticed that the pair was decently amicable and cared enough to see each other despite ending their decades-long relationship. Although, their relationship was not without issues.
The Wahhabi and Salafist movements have become increasingly influential throughout the Middle East and the world. They have been an integral part of the dynamic religious conflict in the Middle East and have helped propagate the current terrorist movements throughout the world. To understand what makes these movements so popular, we must revisit the roots of Wahhabism and Salafism and their similarities and differences. Wahhabism was founded by Mohammed Ibn Abd al-Wahhab in the eighteenth century. Wahhabism “stresses the absolute sovereignty of God.”
Despite this growth in mainstream recognition, a sizeable negative reaction against the Brony fandom exists. A number of media outlets openly criticize Bronies as social outcasts who are attracted to a “deviant lifestyle.” Several pundits say they feel confusion and disgust at the notion of young adult men enjoying something marketed toward young girls between the ages of four and ten. As Madeline Davies points out, the fandom does not receive a lot positive reports about their events from either the media or society at large: Much like the press, the public hasn 't exactly been kind to the brony.

Wahhabism is a stricter Sunni branch of Islam founded in Saudi Arabia by Ibn Abd al-Wahhab and it rejects the beliefs of Sufism due emphasizing false Islamic values. (Craig p.738) Moreover, this religion began to combat the false beliefs/ideas of Islam emphasized by Sufi Muslims such as saint worship and visitation to saints’ tombs and employ authorities of the Quran (Islam’s holy book) or traditions of the Prophet. (Craig p.738-739) Authorities of the Quran or who followed the traditions of the prophet emphasized true Islam according to the Quran and the Sufis did not since saint worship is prohibited according to the Quran since followers of Islam are only supposed to worship one god, which is Allah and nothing else according to the Quran.
