    The “relational paradigm” that Zachary Lockman also addresses in his introduction to his book “Comrades and Enemies,” is the historical framework that he chooses to use. This relational paradigm attempts to mend the inaccuracies that are found within the dual society paradigm. For this reason, the relational paradigm takes into consideration economic, political, social, and cultural interactions between the Arab and Jewish communities. It acknowledges the existence of both societies and attempts to recognize the influence that the groups had on each other. The employment of this paradigm is progress, because it establishes that the two communities indeed were mutually formative. There are however severe weakness in this theory. It does not,…

    Muhammad (pbuh) is extremely important to Muslims all around the world, and a sacred symbol for the Islamic religion. Pbuh stands for ‘peace be upon him’. This abbreviation is added along with his name all around the world as a sign of respect for him. Not only that, but Muslims do this to give peace upon him. Muhammad was not able to read or write so his was known as an ‘illiterate’ when he was born, and until he died. Because of this, when ‘Allah’ talked to him, he had to preach to other people and then they had to write them down. All of these saying were kept and treasured and then were finally added into books like the Qur’an and the Hadith. This essay will cover just exactly why Muhammad is so important to Muslims today.…

    In this article, Ella Habiba Shohat, discusses the domination of European Jews, the Ashkenazim, over the voices of the Arab Jews, the Sephardim. The Zionist master narrative portrays the idea that “Zionism ‘saved’ the Sephardim from the harsh rule of their Arab ‘captors,’” while modernizing and integrating them into their own European culture. (270). The Ashkenazi Israeli equates the Sephardi to the Arab, as uneducated and primitive, yet blame and view them as the “obstacle to peace” because of their supposed hatred of the Arab, creating an attitude portraying a colonial parallel operative. Shohat correlates the history of Zionism with that of the Palestinians and Sephardi, stating, “An essential feature of colonialism is the distortion and…

    Muhammad and Jesus of Nazareth are two of the most religiously influential people of the world today. Their impact and contributions to the religions of Islam and Christianity has affected many aspects of our everyday lives; for some this impact is direct and for others the repercussions of their impact is indirect. To say these two men were mere contributors says very little of their livelihood, they were religious leaders, messengers, and teachers of two of the largest and oldest religions still in practice. As we know, these two men were mission by God; the interpretation of their mission is what leads their cause in disparate paths. Jesus is known by the devout Christians followers as the son of God, the messiah, and is worthy of worship. Muhammad is believe by devout Muslims as the last prophet mission by Allah, and his message or instructions to his followers were delivered directly to him by Allah through the angel Gabriel. The purpose of my paper is to demonstrate my knowledge of both the religion of Islam and Christianity through comparison and contrasting the lives and history of Muhammad and Jesus of Nazareth. Within this paper I will discuss the impact of the deaths of both Muhammad and Jesus and its affect on their perspective religions, describe the manner in which each individual was or still is worshipped and provide insight as to how their messages are being carried out in the world today.…
