Islam is arguably the key religion in some portions of the middle east.  One of the first monotheistic religions in the Arab world, it now claims countless millions of followers throughout the world.
 

Questions for key issue #4 of Chapter 6.
  • How long have your people lived in their current habitation?
  • Who or what is your struggle?  Is it the government, a rival religion?
  • If your homeland is violent because of religious problems, why do you stay?  Why not move to another country and avoid the fighting?
  • How do most members of your own religion feel about the conflict?  Do they feel that you should keep up the fight, or that to yeild is better than to die?
  • How far back does your conflict go?
  • How would you (the student) solve this conflict?
