opinions on who I feel the Arabs are. I believe language is an important factor in identifying the Arabs. The Arab countries are not only confined to the area of Arabia but also stretch towards the continent of Africa. Therefore, they have a diversity of culture within them. But what is one of the main things that unites them? It is their language, Arabic. The Arabic language has existed for a very long time and it part of the ancient Semitic languages and one of the only few that continues to exist
In addition, these sorts of attitudes are also common in the usage of the Arabic Language. Haeri (2003) and Ferguson (1956) demonstrate that Classical Arabic (CA) is highly regarded and considered to be the dialect of knowledge, science, inspiration, intellectualism, religion, etc., Also, the CA is said to own rich vocabulary and aesthetic syntactic structures. This is due to the fact that the Quran plays a significant role in making people always appreciate this variety. On the contrary, the local
undergraduate I have been striving to become fluent in the Arabic language. The CLS Program would help me develop my skills and get closer to reaching my first goal.

came to America from Yemen a couple months ago I thought it would be a good idea to compare and contrast American schools with Yemeni schools. All my life, up until October 24, 2015, I have spoken Arabic, written in Arabic, and studied in Arabic. Coming to America and being pushed to learn a new language has been difficult. This change has made me notice big differences between the teachers, students and the workload given in American and Yemeni schools. Teachers in Yemeni school they understand
1. Substantiate the piety and moral virtue of Mansa Musa. In the book Medieval West Africa, Al- ‘Umari (1301–1394) described many actions of Mansa Musa that reflect him as a pious Muslim, and a person of high moral virtue. Many of these actions occurred during Mansa Musa’s pilgrimage to Mecca in 1312.

INTRODUCTION Iraqi Arabs are the unreached people group I selected. I could not find a group that I felt comfortable with researching about. Nor one that I felt a desire to write about. I finally decided on a region; the Middle East because I have much compassion for those people. My previous current event papers were regarding this region and surrounding regions. These areas are facing difficulties regarding wars and rebels against the local governments. I choose the Islamic religion to narrow my
Being Arab is not something that is practices it is a way of life. It is not something that someone chooses to be, you are either Arab or not.

From the beginning of time in Ancient Egypt, religion was and still is today, a force so powerful, it determined both the structure of government and organization of the society. In Egypt, where there is a tremendous religious disparity, discrimination is exercised by not only the society but also the government itself. One of the most important issues that fellow Egyptian citizens face today is their human rights and their religious freedom. There are many obstacles, to say the least, that Egyptians
As a young girl, I always and still do admire Belle for her intelligence, love for books and bravery in speaking her mind and most importantly, the decision of not changing herself for the world because world often changes. Unlike some of other Disney heroines, Belle’s defining characteristics made the Disney animated movie Beauty and the Beast as a tale old as time. This also leads to many studies on Disney Beauty and the Beast. In this section, I would be providing critical critiques on some of

What I think that smith would think of the portrayal in ‘’What ISIS really wants’’, is that Islamic state Iraq and al-sham aka ISIS is a religious group with significant beliefs and been to wars since the beginning of the early 2000’s and with their beliefs there will be an upcoming apocalypse. And that makes it a realistic portrayal of war. What Forster thinks about the religion conflicts in the article of ‘‘What
When this war will be over? We are living an age of war and disturbance. Specially, for Muslims all over the world, it seems that they are passing through the time of an apocalypse. Millions of Muslims have been brutally butchered and maimed since the start of the Gulf War. Who should we blame except ourselves? If we were right, nobody could have dared to show the strength and might, to kill us like insects. These days, Saudi Arabia and Iran are at loggerheads. They are making the situation much
War is almost always a breeding ground for destruction, violence and hatred. The Iraq war however, went a step further to cause the birth of the international terrorist group known as ISIS (Islamic State of Iraq and Syria). According to a report by Amnesty International, the emergence of ISIS is directly connected to the U.S led invasion of Iraq in 2003 (newobserveronline.com). This invasion followed President George Bush’s declaration of war on Iraq since evidence gathered by his administration
Since the beginning of British contact with the Middle East in the sixteenth century, the people and countries they have interacted with have been treated as “Others” different from the British. As their relationship changed, especially with the rise of imperialism, new ideas of the “Other” were influenced by the lure of power for their empire as well as curiosity to learn more about the Middle East. From the introductory letters between Sultan Murad III and Queen Elizabeth I, power has been at

The United States and Middle Eastern Culture by Tayler McBride Angelo State University It comes as no surprise to many the vast and multiple differences between Middle Eastern culture and that of the United States. However, the extent to which they contrast requires a particular degree of sensitivity in acknowledgment. Factors of religion, ethnicity and nationalism, modernization, and geography of the Middle East have manifested themselves over time into a culture that has been
