The Muslims dominated many parts of the world during the time period of early 600's to the 1900's including parts of Asia, Europe, and North Africa. Islam and Christianity were major Religions back then and still are today. Both of these religions spread the word of their religion and many techniques and discoveries. Many of their characteristics of both religions helped shape the world we live in now.
Islam began in the 600 – 700's in early day Mecca. Islam religion was spread into parts of Northern Africa, India, Baghdad, Iran, Iraq and many other parts of Europe and Asia.

The founder of the Islamic religion is Muhammad. Muhammad was born in Mecca around 750. Muhammad was the Prophet of the Islam world. He brought many teachings, encompassing political and social as well as religious principles that became the basis of the Islamic world, and had vast influence on World History. Muhammad belonged to the clan of Hashim, a poor but respected branch of prestigious and influential tribe of Quraysh. Muhammad was known as Al – Amain in English known as " the trusted one". One day Muhammad went down to Mecca to meditate and pray for guidance. During this travel he experienced a vision from the archangel Gabriel. The vision said that Muhammad is the prophet of God.

Black Boy
One main point of the United States Constitution was missing from the Jim Crow South: equality. The Constitution clearly states that “all men are created equal,” but in the Jim Crow era, blacks were continuously persecuted for something that would be acceptable today. During slavery the South was a place of racial prejudice, discrimination, and hate. Blacks could be punished for simply looking at a white person the wrong way. Punishments included arrests, beatings, even lynchings were a common part of the age. Blacks in this time were considered second class citizens and had basically no rights what so ever. Blacks that Richard knew, dealt with racism in different ways. One way that Richard's friend Griggs dealt with racism was to learn to act how whites wanted him to. He wouldn't do anything to make white people mad. Some advice that Griggs gave to Richard was to, "learn how to live in the South" (217). He told him to get out of white people's way and to not make them mad. Griggs main advice was to act like a black boy is suppose to. Another person who had to deal with racism was the hotel maid at Richard's old job at a hotel. She was walking out of the hotel with Richard and a white security guard grabbed her butt. Even though she knew exactly what happened, she just kept on walking. Richard asked her, "How could you let him do that" (234). She replied, "It don't matter. They do that all the time" (234). The hotel maid had encountered this abuse a lot so she was used to it, knowing if she spoke up she would be punished. Richard wanted to do something but she just told him, "You woulda been a fool if you had done something" (234). By this she meant to let whites do whatever they pleased. Shorty, an elevator operator, dealt with racism in a different way. As he was working the elevators one day, a white man got on. In desperate need of a quarter for lunch, he asked the wh…
