Islam, and Judaism
Basic Facts

Guys:

Go to the BBC.COM website and locate the page on religion and ethics. (Link below) Then find the pages for Islam, and Judaism, and read the articles (most are just one page long, so dont have a cow) on the topics/subtopics assigned below for each religion. You will notice that there are more topics/subtopics on the BBC website than those listed below. You are welcome to read the other topics/subtopics (not listed below) if you wish. However, for the purposes of this course you are responsible for the topics below. DO NOT attempt to print all these articles; its not necessary and you will be wasting too much paper. Simply read and take notes (after all you will still have to do this anyway, even if you decide to print the articles)
