Today in class we highlighted notes from our packet that we received and talked a little about the Powwow. Here are the things that we highlighted below.
- Islam is the predominant religion of Central Asia and of Southwest Asia and North Africa
- Buddhism is in East Asia and Southeast Asia
- Islam means submission to the will of God
- Muslim means one who surrenders to God
- Most Muslims are in Indonesia, Pakistan, India and Bangladesh
- The three types of Christianity are Roman Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox
- More then 90% of Latin Americans and 75% of Europeans and North Americans identify as adhering to Christianity
- Muslims are 90% of Central Asia, Southwest Asia and North Africa
- In South Asia 2/3 of population is Hindus and 1/3 are Muslim
- India is 80% Hindu
- Bangladesh and Pakistan are more then 90% Muslim
- Judaism is the most widely practiced religion in the State of Israel
- Most migrants learn a new language which is what they speak in the new location but retain their religion
- Reliable statistics on the number of adherents is difficult to obtain
All in all today's class was pretty good and it was the last class of the day which was a bonus. For some reason I kept thinking that today was Friday but sadly it is not and we still have 2 more days of school this week but I guess it is not that bad because we have already gone to school 3 days this week. The first couple of weeks back from Christmas break always feel so slow and take forever. We also had an assembly today about the Pow Wow. I found out that I actually don't have sports on Saturday and they are Sunday so my Grandparents and I are going to go to the Pow Wow on Saturday. All in all today was good and I have this class first Mod on Friday.
