About A.D. 700 Islam reached North Africa and most of Southeast Asia. Centuries later it came to Southern and Eastern Europe, West and East Africa, South Asia and it reached even China about A.D. 1000. Islam was carried by any man of this religion, no matter if he was a child, soldier, teacher or even the sultan. There are many things that are stated in the Quran, the holy book of Islam, that make perfect sense to me. The Quran states many things that will happen in this world, for example; the visible decay of godliness- were less people are praying and going to sermons, the manifestations in pride- especially among the very wealthy, people full of contention- thus the rise in lawsuits and lawyers, the sins of sex and alcohol

Though both Christianity and Islam believe themselves to be the one true religion, Islam went about establishing itself as a dominant religion differently…by the way of the sword. The Islam religion was originated by the prophet Muhammad. He spread this faith first to his family and friends, and then went on teaching it to his clan. He formed a tight society that eventually “brought most of southern and western Arabia under its control.”(Bentley 90) After Muhammad’s death, his followers went on to expand the first Islamic Empire. Such areas included: Egypt, North Africa, Armenia, etc.
When Mongols captured Baghdad and killed the last Abbasid caliphate, the Middle East broke into many states, although it was reunited but only partly. The Abbasid Empire’s Mathematics and Science was kept in the Islamic world, since under the Abbasids Arabic numerals became widespread. When Islam reached Africa during the 1300s and 1400s, most were Christians, although as time passed by most of the population decided to change Christianity and convert to Islam instead. One of the reasons of that was because Muslims weren’t taxing them like they used to get taxed before, and they liked that change. Muslims also adapted many ways like Indian styles into their religion and culture.

He supplemented those ideas with his own ideas and values stating that the white race is the foundation of everything on earth. “Many people who read this book were white supremacists and were attracted by Klassen’s Nazi-like belief system and wanted in to
Vivekananda and Ramakrishna both believed that all religions are just an eternal phase of one basic religion. In 1920 another Indian made it his goal to spread the word of yoga. His name was Paramahansa Yogananda, and he was told by his mater, Babaji, to spread the message of yoga. They were both somewhat successful, but they were not even close to where it is at today.

Among the Sioux and Arapaho, the Ghost Dance was one of the central rituals of a new religious movement that focused on the restoration of the past, as opposed to a salvation in a new future. The movement was active within limited tribes and mirrored other attempts by previous Indians to escape the civilization of the white man. The traditional ritual used in the Ghost Dance, the circle dance, has been used by many Native Americans since prehistoric times but was first performed in accordance with Jack Wilson's teachings among the Nevada Paiute in 1889.

As the Ghost Dance spread from its original source, Native American tribes synthesized selective aspects of the ritual with their own beliefs, often creating change in both the society that integrated it and the ritual itself.
