Our class taught each other about different aspects of the Muslim Empire. Here is a summary in brief the main points of each lesson.
Conquests of Muslim Empire
Marshal
The conquests of the Muslim Empire from 651 to 732 AD spanned from Spain to Egypt, across the Arabian peninsula, and into parts of modern day Russia. The conquests expanded the religion and culture. This united the people, expanding the population and the army. The Muslims got taxation from the non-Muslims.
Achievements of Islam
Johanna
The ancient Islamic culture continues to affect us today through their many achievements in math, science, technology, and architecture. They spread their own philosophy as well as maintaining the philosophies of Plato and Aristotle. They built complex irrigation systems that they used in the harsh desert. The Muslims even discovered the first painkillers.
Geography
Connor and Ilija
The harsh desert, arid climate, and lack of water all contributed to the development of trade, architecture, and fashion in the Muslim world. The lack of water meant people were nomadic in the beginning. They soon learned how to use irrigation. People were dependent on foreign trade for food and goods they could not get elsewhere. Their housing was build out of mud and stone. Their clothing was loose and airy.
Islamic Extremists
Leda
Terrorists attack other countries to force their beliefs on them or ruin that countries' culture. Al Queda is one example of a terrorist group. They are responsible for 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. Not all Islamic people are terrorists, only a tiny segment. One should not judge people based on their few extremists.
Achievements of Muslims
Anze
Math, technology and medicine were three areas that the Islamic people excelled in during the Golden Age of Islam. They developed algebra, fountain pens, and cough syrup to name a few of their marvels.
Golden Age of Islam
Luka B.
Geography, trade, and religion all affected and led up to the Golden Age of Islam. Trade brought in material goods and ideas from far reaches of the world. The Arabian Peninsula is centrally located between Europe and Asia allowing easy trade. Their religion united them against their enemies. They had one belief system and language.
