Islam students at LUC

Well, the class is over now and I’m sad to go BUT I am enrolled in Intro to Qur’an so I’ve got one more semester with Uncle Phil! (: I recently read an article on CNN that stated that many Muslims in the Mideast viewed Al Qaeda  in a negative way. The poll by the [...]

Once again, this will be a megablog.   Not quite sure how many blogs were supposed to have 13, 14, 15? Lost? Yes.  Well, here goes nothing.  I saw this article on Facebook that was shared and not really sure if the women that they are talking about are Muslim or not but it talks [...]

Like daisysimple I’m going to write a long blog as well because apparently I’m missing a couple.  In class this week we had a little discussion about Ramadan and whether some of the students looked forward to it or not.  Well, I found an article on the New York times that featured Muslim businessmen and [...]

Like my fellow classmates I’ll dedicate this first paragraph to saying that we obviously did not have class last week due to Easter break.  My break was spent with my family and definitely not long enough if any of you were wondering.  Like everyone else, I am also requesting that we watch a movie this [...]

In class this week we presented our skits that we worked so diligently on.  At first I was a little apprehensive about doing this project, but looking back on it now, I think it was a great idea and really enjoyed being able to pick who we were able to work with.  I think this [...]

This week in class we started on a group activity about a chapter from the Qur’an.  After fake-working on that assignment for about 20 minutes we proceeded to watch the move “The Interrupters” due to a lack of attendance in class.  I really enjoyed the movie.  It was really eye-opening and showed me the problems [...]

Last week in class we finished the movie Mooz-lum.  I really enjoyed the movie and how it depicted the hard times that the family went through after 9-11 happened.  I liked how with Tariq there was a transition from being a devout Muslim to denying his identity to then going back to accepting his faith [...]

Last week we continued to talk about the life of Muhammad.  We also watched a movie about a Muslim boy growing up in modern day society.  It was interesting to see how he and his sister was effected by society and the wrath of the other school children because of their religion. The readings this week [...]

This week we continued to talk about the life of Muhammad.  We also had debates about what people thought of religion and whether killing someone in defense was okay or not.  I really enjoyed listening to all of the different opinions.  We also met a recruit from the soccer team that loves to play soccer [...]
