[ send me this paper ]
This is a 5 page paper discussing Islam and globalization. Historians and researchers have found that globalization has many different effects on Islam and that Islam in turn could have many positive effects on globalization. Firstly, globalization of democracy could have a positive effect on fair representation in Islamic nations. With fair representation on a political scale, the West could better understand the ideals of Islam which the West now consider negative. In fact, Islam could offer a positive impact on the current process of globalization since it effects all of humanity and so does the components of Islam. Islamic faith addresses concepts of peace, equality and human rights which need to be considered during the process of globalization which is now currently focused on economic and technological factors. With the inclusion of the components of Islam in the process of globalization, world wide communities could benefit from globalization instead of feeling a negative or exploitive impact.

Islam, Christianity, Judaism/A Comparison
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page research paper that contrasts and compares these religions. Ryan (2004) points out that non-Muslims are frequently perplexed when they find out that Muslims consider "Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus" and many other biblical personages who are known to both Jewish and Christian scripture to be Muslim (p. 19). This does not mean that Muslims consider these historical figures to have been, literally, followers of the Prophet Muhammad, the founder of the Islamic faith. What it does mean is that these men individually surrendered themselves to God and His will. The phrase, "surrendering to God" is the literal meaning of the word "Islam." According to Ryan (2004), the root words in Arabic for both "Islam" and "Muslim" refer to what human beings of faith are called to do, i.e., surrender to God. As this observation suggests, these major world religions have similar roots and commonality. In order to find out more on this topic, this literature search was instigated. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
