I created this presentation with the history of Islam in mind. As I have come to understand the history of the region it became far too apparent to me how intertwined the religion is with their government and culture, a stark contrast to the government I’m used to with the United States. Of course it would be inevitable for everything in people lives to influence their belief systems though. This short project and presentation takes a look at some of the factors that allowed Islam to persist, and expand, though it is not in any way an in depth look at the subject; Glossing over some aspects of their growth and development not mentioned in the sources, or ignoring others because of similarities to previously made points. For this part of the world everything is about the religion, everything in effect is their gods will, and that mentality is extremism. However, it is important to note, Islam is not about peace, never in its history has it been about peace. It’s about conformity, peace for Muslims, death or discrimination towards everyone else. If it were about peace there would be no need to seek extremes, no need for modern nations to censure their media, their libraries, to oppress their women, to wage war on Infidels. There are extremists in every culture and every region, but that does not excuse the inaction of those supposed “Moderates” who allow it. Muslim culture, by its nature and its history encourages extremists. For those who would argue that it is not my culture, not my religion, not my ethics, therefor I cannot judge them, YOU ARE WRONG. There is nothing in the world that prevents me from my judgments, to say otherwise is to prove my point’s right. Muslims are defensive of their actions, their ways, for the same reason any religion ostracizes anyone who might suggest their propaganda is wrong, because they are afraid. People create groups, instinctively, naturally and seclude themselves from opposing thoughts without realizing it. But I digress, the point, lost though it may be, is that Islam, like every religion promotes both peace and conflict. That, unfortunately one cannot look at any religion without looking at the politics it controls, and creates. For the Islamic world a lot of conflict and controversy is generated by blinding opinions, by the loudest, not wisest voices.
