Chapter 22

The African National Congress picture is very interesting it shows the struggle that the people of South Africa. The second picture one on Vietnam kicking out the American army. The documents of the past is interesting because the idea of a secular Islamic religion has been thought about for years and here I thought it was a recent movement. Mustafa Kemal Ataturk was one of these people with the innovation of a secular Islam in 1927. This was interesting because countries that are heavenly Islamic are behind in industrialization. If Ataturk would of keep going he would of changed the position of the Islamic countries. Ayatollah Khomeini is a very interesting politician because he made it seem like the country was moving toward a democratic republic. But when he says based on an Islamic rule is when he looses me. If the democratic republic is to work it need to be secular. This is why the European nations do not want Turkey to have the Euro currency.The most interesting document of reading is "From Islam to America" because it shows the oppression that some women suffer under Islamic rule, which were made up by men to dominate women. This oppression is what makes the Islamic religion look bad, but in reality it does not happen everywhere. And people should understand that.
