    Akyol, throughout the book, often recognizes similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity; as well as, he notes the different environmental factors between the Middle East and the West and how they play a role in the political development of each religion. For example, Akyol explains the medieval christians’ fascination in Islamic liberalism and freedom, which Christianity, at the time, was considered a much more conservative ideology (78-79). Akyol uses these contrasting ideas to show the nature of religion and how it affects the development of a state in an academic and economic sense. As well as, he describes these differences in order to clear the misconceptions held by the West that Islam is a widely conservative ideology when in reality, it’s post-Qur’anic traditions that impose the conservative ideas seen in modern day Islamic states, in addition to giving a historical context that not necessarily long ago Christianity was considered the ultra-conservative doctrine.…

    The historical relationship between the Mongols and Islam can be described as ambivalent. Historians have traditionally viewed the Mongolian invasion of the Khwarazmia and the Abbasid Caliphate as destructive to the Islamic identity, because Islamic world-empires suffered a loss of political power, economic wealth, and human life; and the destruction of Baghdad resulted in the loss of Islamic multicultural and social cohesiveness. Recent studies, however, indicate that the Mongols facilitation of trade led to the spread Islam, which made it the global religion seen in present day. While the Mongols destroyed Islamic world-empires, they fostered a growing Muslim community beyond Islam’s Persian and Arabic origins. Therefore, the Mongols positively impacted Islam by creating a more geographically and ethnically diverse Islamic identity, which outweighs the negative impact caused by initial devastation.…

    The Nazis were not the first people to practice anti-Semitism, but is true that the Nazis practiced anti-Semitism in the most violent and horrifying way. This generalisation can be easily made because most people aren’t taught about pre-Nazi anti-Semitism so they presume that it was just practiced by the Nazis. Anti-Semitism had been around for nearly 2000 years before the Nazis. It changed over time as it started off as religious bullying with only a few physical and violent attacks before becoming more financial during the Industrial revolution.…

    Due to anti-semitism, the lives of many Jews were lost in a genocide known as the “Holocaust”. Anti-semitism is often used to describe any sort of “...political, social, and economic agitation directed against Jews” (Funk & Wagnalls). It was spread through propaganda, the idea of a master race, and led to the Jews being a scapegoat for the Germans after World War I. The history of anti-semitism can be traced back to biblical times, perhaps even earlier than that; as stated in Maus I, there were “centuries of anti-semitism” before the rise of Hitler and the Nazis (Maus I 171. 6). Although anti-semitism can be found earlier than biblical times, it was mainly prevalent after the crucifixion of Jesus, when many…

    The Holocaust has been put down as one of the most awful and horrifying events in world history. It is impossible for someone to understand and see what the victims of the Holocaust had to go through. Millions of people died because someone couldn't see past the outer shell of a person and judged them because of who they were. That person was Adolf Hitler. He brain washed tons of people into agreeing in his opinion. He wanted the “perfect” race and would kill anyone in the way of his wish, like Jews, Gypsies, Poles, and people with physical or mental disabilities. He put innocent people through the absolute worst conditions and had no mercy.…

During this time the German also believed that the Jews were inferior along with gypsies, Russians, homosexuals and many others. They felt as though that these people were inferior and should be killed. Longerich argues that anti-Semitism was not a mere by-product of the Nazis' political mobilization or an attempt to deflect the attention of the masses, but that anti-Jewish policy was a central tenet of the Nazi movement's attempts to implement, disseminate, and secure National…
