Article
Critique
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. M. Cherif Bassiouni’s article
entitled Protection of Diplomats Under Islamic Law
attempts to illustrate how influential Islamic law has
been at the safekeeping of United States diplomats. When
determining whether or not Bassiouni provides a well
researched article, one must consider several elements:
how the author frames and develops his argument; was the
thesis clearly expressed; did the article follow a logical
sequence; what points were made that lead to the
conclusion; was the argument thoroughly developed; how
were primary and secondary resources employed; did the
conclusion adequately state the most important conclusions
that were reached about the subject, as well as the
reasons why those conclusions are significant; and what
was the overall significance of the article. No additional
sources cited.

Empirical
Research Proposal Regarding the Oppression of Women in
Islamic States
[ send
me this paper ]
This 12 page report discusses whether or not the
oppression of women in Islamic states is based in the
religious theology of Islam or in the cultural contexts of
individual nations. Many believe that the Quran (Koran)
teachings and male dominance have caused this situation
when the actual problem has been more directly related to
the interpretation of holy scripture by men. It is the
fundamentalist extremists who should take the blame for
distorting the teachings of Islam. This paper is written
in ways that lend themselves to the actual development of
a larger research project. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

Factors
Influencing the Rapid Spread of Islam
[ send
me this paper ]
A 5 page observation of the fact that Islam is an ideology
and religion which has taken the world as if by wild fire.
It is actually a young religion in comparison to Judaism
and Christianity but it is one in which societal need and
the circumstances of time provided the optimum environment
for its spread. Numerous other factors have been important
in the speed of this spread as well. 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. Bibliography
lists 5 sources.

Human
Rights as Defined in the Universal Declaration of Human
Rights and by Islam
[ send
me this paper ]
This 6 page report discusses the differences in the
Islamic point of view regarding human rights and the
Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The Declaration was
composed as part of the United Nations’ framework for
member countries as a “common standard.” In essence,
its thirty articles assert that “all human beings are
born free and equal in dignity and rights.” In
comparison, the various Islamic human rights
“arrangements” (civil, social, judicial, and
political) offer and that rely on Islamic principles and
sources, systematically limit, rather than protect or
expand, the sorts of civil and political rights found in
the Universal Declaration and related international law.
And yet, not one voice or one nationality serves as a
single representative of all of Islam. It should be noted
that the diversity of Muslim views is as great as on any
other political issue. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

International
Human Rights Law Vs Sharia Law: Western Ideology And
Islamic Cultural Interpretation Of Gender
[ send
me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The obvious conflict that exists
between International Human Rights law and Sharia law as
they both relate to women indicates a cultural basis upon
which gender is approached. Clearly, any attempt to apply
the International Human Rights law, which is based upon
Western ideology, to countries that practice Sharia law,
which is based upon the teachings of Islam, is a most
difficult application to make. Women and culture have long
represented various relationships in different cultures;
as much as the International Human Rights law has
attempted to bridge the obvious gap that exists between
gender and humane treatment, it has failed to achieve its
objective throughout myriad patriarchal nations.

The
influence of Religon on Sex Roles in the Muslim Culture.
[ send
me this paper ]
(6 pp) In addition to western thought and education there
are three other areas that influence the life of a Muslim.
According to Hussain (2000), they are: the Islamic
scriptures --Quran and Hadith as interpreted b Ulamas,
Mullahs, Muftis and Maulavis, and communicated through
Madrasahs and Mosques, and administered through the
Islamic state wherever there is one. The second is
Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism),which seeks truth through
personal religious experience and not through the
scriptures and is espoused by the Sufis (religious
mystics). And the third is Adab (a concept broadly meaning
art and literature) as a sub-culture of broad-minded and
urbane people of high learning and literary tastes.Poets,
writers and artists are its communicators. Among Indian
Muslims the medium of Adab was Persian. Now it is Urdu.
Because of this orientation, looking at the influence of
religion on the sex roles between men and women is not as
simple within the Muslim culture as it might initially
seem. Bibliography lists 4 sources.

life's mission to crush the movement and restore people
with peace and prosperity. Bibliography lists 10 sources.

The
Middle East: Islam Religion And Arabic Language Taking
Hold In 800 AD
[ send
me this paper ]
6 pages in length. To believe that God is almighty and the
primary source of enlightenment is to understand the very
cornerstone of Islamic principle. However, the road to
Islam's expansion in 800 AD Egypt, Syria and Iran was not
paved with roses, but rather frequently sprinkled with
many deep and offensive thorns. Pre-Islamic culture in
Egypt, Syria and Iran experienced significant opposition
with regard to the issues related to the rise and
subsequent rapid spread of Islam. There was nothing left
untouched with regard to the affect of Islam: food,
clothing, social customs, art, literature and anything
else that played an integral role in a person's life was
significantly altered by Islamic intervention. Arabic
lettering assumed the job of expressing the native
dialect; in fact, such customary usage of the Arabic
language had become especially widespread as to be fully
adopted by Egypt, Syria and Iran. Bibliography lists 6
sources.

The
Ottoman Empire - 1300-1600
[ send
me this paper ]
(5 pp) An empire is defined as 'a large state or a group
of states under a single ruler,' and the historic group
this is called 'Ottoman' is seldom described without the
addition, 'Empire,' after it. It is a good combination of
terms for a group of people, from what is now Turkey that,
were able to remain as a collective organization for over
600 years. An empire is usually said to have a youth, a
middle age, and then a decline, but it is unusual that
this would occur over such a long time frame. This
discussion will examine the Ottoman Empire to see what
successes contributed to its growth and maintenance.

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.
