In the last week of class, we are going to complete a reflection activity. This discussion topic is to be reflective and will be using your own words and not a compilation of direct citations from other papers or sources. You can use citations in your posts, but this discussion exercise should be about what you have learned through your viewpoint and not a re-hash of any particular article, topic, or the book. Items to include in the initial thread:

• “Interesting Assignments” – What were some of the more interesting assignments to you?

• “Interesting Readings” – What reading or readings did you find the most interesting and why?

• “Interesting Readings”“Perspective” – How has this course changed your perspective?

• “Course Feedback” – What topics or activities would you add to the course, or should we focus on some areas more than others?

1. Regardless of denomination or sect, practicing Jews celebrate several religious holidays/holy days. Tell me about any four of them, describing activities connected with the time and its theological/religious significance. Why do you think anti-Semitism still exists in our world?

2. List and describe (very clearly) the Five Pillars of Islam. How does each function in a Muslim’s life? You can make a little chart for this question if that would help you organize the information more cleanly. In summation, tell me why Americans need to have a basic understanding of Islam.

3. How is Islam similar to Judaism and Christianity, its monotheistic predecessors? Elaborate upon some of the differences between these three religious’ communities. Feel free to discuss theological points, specific religious practices, views of heaven and hell, structure of clergy, etc.
