Wednesday, January 20, 2010. Religious Violence in Malaysia. Http:/ www.youtube.com/watch? Thought this was interesting. Not sure if anyone knows or has heard about this but it's caused quite a debate and uproar with many communities.I first heard about it after it affected the Sikh community. Here is the article:.

Monday, February 1, 2010. Islam and The Silk Road (Entry #10). With respect to West and East Africa, Islam's presence was intriguing. Preachers first went into these regions to spread Islam and then jurists were the second Islamic influence, which finalized its presence into the state and legal system. Their methods to convert people into Islam is also interesting as they would use the "local culture" to explain things like dietary rules; so they used not Islam but local laws.

Monday, February 8, 2010. Islam After 9/11 (Entry #11). First of all, I have to say that this week's readings were one of those parts of a course where my mind approached things differently but was also challenged. I knew the issue was much more complicated than what is already out there and these two readings just blew me away and it was really interesting to see the authors examining the issue through a different viewpoint.the Feminism, the Taliban, and Politics of Counter-Insurgency.

Monday, March 22, 2010. Judaism and The Silk Road (Entry #13). Other evidence of their presence come from their incorporation into laws. For example, Judaism was listed as a religio lictia, meaning it was a religion that was permitted by law. This also means that their practices and beliefs were heavily regulated by the government; i.e. their dietary laws. If so, were they different from "pure" Judaism since they were regulated by the law? Posted by Nikat Sansaar. Monday, March 22, 2010.

Nikat Sansaar: Are We Following Our Own Religion?

http://nikatsansaar.blogspot.com/2010/03/are-we-following-our-own-religion.html

Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Are We Following Our Own Religion? Time for some rants and personal insight! So I couldn't help but dwell on a comment that was made in class by one of my classmates. The remark was that everyone's following their own religion; hence there are "6 billion or so religions". If I remember correctly, Prof. Goodman felt there was no foundation in this argument. An even better example is a view held by, if I may, a majority of people. Ever heard of others saying things like, "It's ...
