View Academic Calendar
This course will create an understanding of the attitudes of Islamic nations and people toward the US by attempting to answer the following questions. First, “What is Islam?” “What are Islam’s basic tenets?” Second, “What are the basic Islamic sects and what separates them, what unites them? “Where did Islamic fundamentalism come from and where is it going?” Finally, “Why do so many Islamic countries fail to develop or sustain democratic systems?” To answer these questions, material will be presented about the socio-economic-political and religious framework of Islam that permeates all aspects of Muslim life.
