Judiasm and Islam

Judaism and Islam has been controversial today because of the war between Arabs and Jews. Though it may seem the conflict is over religion it’s not at all, its over land. Palestine is considered be a holy land and the Arabs want the land they fought for fifty-four years.

Islam was found in the Middle East. This religion was started because of the founder of Islam Mohammad. Mohammad was born into poverty in Mecca. Mohammad parents died and was adopted by his uncle. He later married a rich widow. He was once visited by the angel Gabriel while meditating. Mohammed received the message from God to spread the new religion to his friends and neighbors the new faith was to be called Islam this means submission to Allah the one true God. Mohammed said accept Allah and obey him and well be judged on judgment day they will be judged on good and bad deeds or refuse him and suffer. (Payne, 17) Mohammad
