I view the Islam religion completely differently then I viewed it before last class\u2019s discussion. The top 5 misconceptions that were given to us as notes were very helpful in erasing some of the misunderstandings I was lead to believe about the Muslim people. The number one misunderstanding I believed as an outsider was that Muslims worship a different God. I believed this because I had heard that they worshiped Allah, but what I did not know was the meaning of Allah. Upon finding out that Allah means God in Arabic, I now know that they worship the same God, they just have a different word then we use. I also did not know the difference between Islam and Muslim, I thought they were synonymous; therefore, they could be interchanged with each other. That was proven wrong once I found out that one they were not interchangeable and there is a difference between them. Islam should be taught to students at an early age, so they don\u2019t think these fallacies and they are educated properly. Students are taught how a plant cell divides, but they are not taught a religion in which 1 in 4 people practice. This should be a required subject in middle or high school education because it is just as important as the quadratic formula or stoichiometry.<\/p>\n
