Intro to Islam1/16/2019 From the meeting, I actually learned about a lot of thing that I didn’t know before. I learned about the differences the two parts of Islam and their core beliefs. The part that Shino brought up to me and the class was quite surprising. When I asked her about what is the major thing that brought the two part into conflicts, she said that it seems to be the religious belief differences, but it might actually be an excuse and the real reason may be the fight over resources. It was a very interesting and new perspective that I didn’t not think about myself, and I think it is able to explain a lot of phenomena in the society right now.
I think I was 2 in the small group conversation. Although I didn’t talk a lot with other classmates, but I asked Shino a lot of questions. I think I got 2.5 in large discussion because I didn’t know enough background about Islam to answer the questions but I did summarise the small group discussion to the whole class. I picked the article about the two Muslim women being elected into the Congress. I think it is definitely a breakthrough and a victory for the religion and for women in general. In the talk during class, we talked about this by the end of the class about hijab and why we should embrace the culture. I think it is a great thing for the ladies to enter congress because more stereotypes will be broken and people might get to know about the Islamic culture more.
