Islam

My Perspective of Islam Muslims Islam is one of the most controversial Religions worldwide. There’s no dispute about it. One reason I find in Islam so intriguing is it a religion, culture, or political machine used by adversary for financial gain? Islam appears to be frightening for the members and the non-members of the group. I find it conflicting for members of a civilized society to execute power over another. Strayer’s Way of the World, points out that the significant breaking point was the “absent of Muhammad”, which is labeled “umma”. Mohammad was supposedly a peaceful man, but why was there so much controversy after his leadership. This makes she wonder how was his leadership style? Did he in fact latently promote coercion or power? A possible challenge is the idea that religion and politics are intertwine. In comparison Christendom were the “focused on correct belief” Islam focused on the “correct behavior, prayer, cleansing, marriage, divorce, inheritance, business and commercial relationship, treatment of slaves and political life” (pg. 313). As you see, this religion is focused more on business relationships, and power. I see why fighting amongst the Sunni, and Shia still exist today in our so called modern world.
