interest. Japans military leaders hoped to gain
some of Chinas lands and resources if it should
become weak. Soon, problems overseas such as the
Great Depression and poor trade helped put that
plan into action. Other countries at the same time
were also experiencing the kinds of changes that
Japan was. Nationalism and imperialism were
becoming important ideas in the East. In the 1920

Religious Comparison Of Christianity And Islam

You had to know history to understand what Bosnia
and Kosovo were all about. That conflict proved
that the war between Christianity and Islam has
never ended. Over the ages, it simply took on
different forms. Because we live in such a highly
secularized society, we cannot believe that
America could ever become involved in a religious
war in this day and age. Yet ferocious religious
wars have been going on all over the place: in
Northern Ireland, Israel, the Balkans, the Sudan
and Russia. But his...

metaphysical insanity of political correctness and
multiculturalism is becoming obvious even to the
most brainwashed people in Western countries. It
appears to be only the matter of time, before
celebration of diversity in Britain is going to be
associated with people hanging on lampposts,
because of their failure to follow the rules of
Islamic law. Whatever incredible it might sound,

Not all African-American leaders in the 1950 s and
1960 s agreed with Dr. Martin Luther Kings ideas
of nonviolence. Some blacks did not want to be
brothers with whites. They did not think
integration would work either. They wanted a
separate black nation. Malcolm X was the most
outspoken of Kings opponents. As a minister in the
Black Muslim movement, Malcolm X called for
militant action in the fight against racism. He
was tired of waiting for progress in the racial
struggle. Malcolm X thought bl...

Saudi Arabia Holy City

The Islamic religions holiest city of Mecca (also
known as Mekka or Makkah) is located in the
Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Its importance as a holy
city for Muslims harks back to it being the
birthplace of the founder of Islam, Mohammed. The
prophet Mohammed was born in Mecca, located
approximated 50 miles from the Red Sea port city
of Jidda, in the year 571. Mohammed fled to
Medina, now also a holy city, in the year 622 (ten
years prior to his death). Muslims face Mecca

not know just how much of an effect his victory
had on the history of not only Europe, but of the

overtaken the rest of the world had it not been

this relatively new religion. If the strength of
the religion is dependent upon those who start it,
then it is importa...
