I would not trust this document though, for it is one sided. He is favoring the Qur’an (doc 5). As I stated above, they spread through conquest which is one of the hardest way to receive but easiest to believe (doc 5, 6, 7, 8). The Muslims simply fought their enemies, or their disbelievers. This is a form of conquest because non-Islamic members don’t want to battle them so they convert.
In other words, because of the jihad terrorists feel that they are enabled to kill in the name of Allah, and that is their stance. Considering the fact that in many cases a jihad is caused because of a clash between followers of different religions, each of whom believes that God is on their side and that the other side is of Satan, Al-Khaled does not understand why these terror organizations are killing so many Muslims in the name of God. In the documentary, we met a recruiter for Al-Qaeda named Zaid, who is tied to the suicide bombing that happened at Al-Khaled’s wedding. When asked about the event of many Muslims being killed by a terrorist that claimed it was God’s will, he

However, more recently there has been a lot of tension between patriotic Britons and Muslims which has led to a lot of anti-Islamic propaganda among the British public. One might ask what the reasons are for this media and campaign portrayal. And are they justifiable? This topic was chosen in light of the tensions building from 9/11, the London Underground Bombings and the Iraq war as well as the more recent murder of British soldier, Lee Rigby, by two Muslim extremists which led to a wave of anti-Muslim propaganda across not only Britain but around the world. Due to the controversy that could be caused by this topic sources from patriotic Britons, Muslims and the media will be used to avoid bias and create balanced and well formulated argument.
The man who changed that was Henry VIII; he did this because he wanted to marry other people (Lucent, 10). He also killed the wives that he did not want to live with anymore because he did not like them (Williams,1). Henry was also good in battles and training. He also killed most of his children because he wanted a son to become ruler when he died. He did not like the daughters that he had because he needed people to take his role when he died.
This brought about Islamophobia. Islamophobia is the bigotry and intolerance against Muslims (Fredman, 2001). The people especially Americans developed abhorrence and fright towards Muslims that led to fearing and disliking them. Islamophobia is also a practice of discerning against Muslims and not including them in financial, community and civic aspects of the state. The Muslims are looked at as people with no significance common to other cultures, a substandard cluster to the west and a vicious political idea rather than a religious conviction that it should be.
Christianity in the Roman Empire The rise of Christianity throughout the Roman Empire is one of the main contributing factors to its destruction circa 500 C.E. The teachings and morals portrayed in the letters of Paul of Tarsus (135-136) contradicted the Roman culture by preaching to follow the laws set forth by Christ rather than those set forth by the Roman Senate (136). The difference in belief caused tension between the Roman government and its citizens as more and more converted to Christianity and rebelled against Roman persecution. Paul of Tarsus was a very influential character in the story of Christianity. Thirteen letters are attributed to him in the writings that came to comprise the New Testament (134).

This verse basically suggests that Muslims should kill polytheists unless they convert. Polytheists are defined as those who make anyone or anything a partner with God. They consist of all major groups of non Muslims including Jews and Christians. In the Islamic world, this verse has had strong cultural implications. Passages such as ‘the sword verse’ may have influenced Muslims to participate in jihad, a term mentioned many times in the Koran.
He together with his followers, suffered persecution, death threats and other types of ill-treatment, which eventually resulted in Muhammad’s and many of his followers migrating to Al Madina. This migration is known amongst Muslims as the ‘emigration’. In this essay I will explain the underlying reasons as to why Muhammad migrated. One of the most significant reasons as to why the prophet and his followers migrated to Al Madina was because of the lack of support, including in some cases the threats they received from the people of Mecca. The majority of people there largely dismissed Muhammad’s teachings of the Islam religion as it so absolutely contradicted the polytheist religions they were worshipping, for instance the Arab Pagans (Islam is a monotheist relgion).
