Chapter 24 (740-747)

What instantly caught my attention was learning about the Islamic world. The part of their world that i found most interesting was their development. Their globalization, religion, and society is extremely interesting to me because it is so much different than what I was taught and learned in my life. I find the Islam people very disciplined because they are able to pray every single day on a regluar basis. Not only do they pray but they also fast every so often, as well as attending mosques. This became an everyday thing in their lives. I believe the Islam women are very strong women because they are able to stay true to their men and they have to follow so many rules, from what they have to wear to how they treat their men. The woman from all ages later began to change their image and physical appearance. They had to wear a veil and dressed very conservative, but it mainly became their choice. Something that really affected me when reading this section was reading and learning that then the government of Sudan changed their punishments, it changed to someone losing an arm, leg, or hand being amputated when they commited a crime. People here think that is it so bad that they have to sit in a jail sell when they commit a crime. I honestly believe it would be worse to lose an arm, leg, or hand because then it becomes a set back for someone being unable to do certain things. This honestly would be a good thing because they had the audacity to even commit the crime, they should be set back and lose one of those things. It is cruil but may lower the number of crimes commited!?
