Islam: Empire of Faith was a documentary, expressing the history of Islam and how it affects the world today. From watching the documentary, I learned about the origin of Islam and how it came to be of such great importance to the people it relates to. Also I learned how “The Renaissance had its beginnings in Baghdad”. The documentary also showed me that how Baghdad relates to western civilization. One thing I found quite interesting was that “the hospital” is an invention of Muslims.
The interview we watched was about the Islamic faith and how it affects the world in this present time. I found this interview quite interesting as well as helpful. Being an American who was very highly affected as a result of the attacks on the U.S. in 2001 I believe like many other Americans that many of the people, who live the life of Islamic faith, are nothing more than “terrorists”. As showed in the interview that is not the case at all. The interview weighed on my options of the Islamic faith and helped me to understand many things better understand things.
