The heart of these protests lies not within Islam‚ but in the molding of the ignorant by power and the makings

States is a Christian nation. After reading the Church book‚ however‚ I believe it is obvious that our country was not in fact founded on Christianity. Even though many religious right groups insist our laws should enforce the doctrines of Protestant Christianity. The documents written by our founding fathers say otherwise.

LTAR 250 February 28‚ 2005 The Five Pillars of Islam After watching The Five Pillars of Islam it has made me rather interested in the history and origin of the Islamic religion. So often today we see the Islam as a religion of terrorism‚ and war. We see it as a religion of people that have nothing in their heart but bad.

Beast of No Nation‚ is a movie I would have never watched. After watching it has given me insight of how a war can take away a childhood and innocence. This movie I would consider a raw movie‚ with very graphic scenes and detailed violence. This movie did a great job portraying how children are taken away from their childhood and used as soldiers. These children don’t choose this life but are forced to join these rebel groups in order to stay alive. The story of Agu in Beast of No Nation is very heartbreaking
