On Tuesday we talked about the Islam religion. \u00a0Like Judaism, I didn’t really know much about the religion when we began talking about it. \u00a0We learned the five misconceptions of the Islam religion. \u00a0The first major misconception I learned from the discussion Tuesday was that when talking about this religion you don’t mix up the word Islam and Muslim. \u00a0These two words mean different things, Islam is the name of the religion and Muslim is the name of the person who worships the religion. \u00a0These two words aren’t interchangeable. \u00a0I felt like this misconception was very important. \u00a0The other 4 misconceptions were Muhammed is divine, which is saying he is God. \u00a0The next was the Koran promotes violence and oppression of women. \u00a0When people say they heard something like this from the Koran, 97 % of the time it isn’t true. \u00a0The other two misconceptions are all Muslims are terrorists and all Muslims are Arabs. \u00a0The last two misconceptions are very judgmental I feel because not everyone that is Christian are terrorists. \u00a0To me saying that all Muslims are terrorists is like saying that just because there are a few Christian people that are terrorists, all Christians are too. \u00a0I felt like this discussion really helped my understand a lot about what people might think about the Islam religion that isn’t true.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
