The Spread of Islam: The Result of a Variety of Factors
[ send me this paper ]
An 11 page discussion of the factors influencing the spread of Islam. While these factors can be attributed to specific events such as the independence of the Muslim states in the aftermath of World War II, the spread of Islam and the speed of that spread is really attributable to much more basic factors. These factors include societal need and receptivity, familiarity, the oral nature of the religion, the lack of need for formal structures, technology, and the high visibility of public figures who have converted to the religion. Notes that today Islam is represented by over one billion Muslims and comprises the majority in fifty nations. While some of this growth can be attributed to population growth in the predominantly Muslim countries conversion is a factor as well. Each of the above discussed factors has played a tremendous role in the conversion of many to Islam and in making Islam one of the most popular religions today. Bibliography lists 8 sources.

Wadud/Quran & Woman
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page book review that discusses the principal thesis of Amina Wadad's Quran and Woman, which takes a truly unique approach to what Islamic scriptures actually say about the sexes and their roles. Practically from its inception as a religion, the Quran has been interpreted by men. Male scholars, in regards to the role of women, have tended to focus on a few texts, studied in isolation from the whole of the Quran. Wadud offers an exegesis of the Quran that is female inclusive and considers the Islamic scriptures as a whole. In so doing, Wadud breaks down specific texts and key words that have been used to limit women's public and private roles, showing that the original meaning and context of the Quran stand in direct opposition to such interpretations. Wadud's reading of the Quran explicitly confirms that Islamic scriptures indicate that women and men are equal. No other sources cited.
