Social Consequences of Thievery in Saudi Arabia Verses the United States
[ send me this paper ]

While an emphasis is put on theft, other criminal acts such as murder, adultery, and apostasy (the conversion of a Muslim to Christianity) are also considered. The author of this paper contends that the differences which exist in these countries’ crime rates relates to societal expectations as well as to the degree of punishment which can be expected.

Terrorists As Non-State Actors In World Politics
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. Terrorism is not an activity endorsed by global states as a means by which to address international hostilities; rather, it is a self-perpetuating form of anarchy that feeds off a minimal percentage of fundamentalists who have the capacity to inflict tremendous harm and damage. The extent to which terrorists act of their own accord is both grand and far-reaching; that their non-state status creates an even greater level of contempt and confusion speaks to the inescapable reality of innocent - and non-supporting - victims becoming indelibly involved.

The Hajj
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 3 page paper discussing the Muslim pilgrimage, the Hajj from a religious and modern perspective. The Hajj (Al-Hajj) is an obligatory pilgrimage for Muslims to Makkah (Mecca) in Saudi Arabia during the month of Hajj, Dhul Hijjah. Hajj is the Fifth Pillar of Islam and is therefore a requirement of all Muslims who are capable of making the journey. The Umrah is an optional lesser pilgrimage which can be performed any time during the year for those who are not able to perform the Hajj. Al-Hajj takes place over five days from the 8th to the 13th days of Dhul Hijjah. The term “Hajj” literally means “a resolve” such as “to resolve to some magnificent duty” and it is considered as “the realization of Prophet Abraham’s Prayer”. The commitment to the Hajj is not an easy one as pilgrims must be physically, mentally and financially be able to make the journey and complete the five days of strict rituals. Despite the complexity of the Hajj, over 2 million Muslims make the pilgrimage each year and are supported by the citizens of Mecca and the country of Saudi Arabia which continues to update the city to accommodate more pilgrims.

The influence of Religon on Sex Roles in the Muslim
Culture.
[ send me this paper ]
(6 pp) In addition to western thought and
education there are three other areas that
influence the life of a Muslim. According to
Hussain (2000), they are: the Islamic scriptures
--Quran and Hadith as interpreted b Ulamas,
Mullahs, Muftis and Maulavis, and communicated
through Madrasahs and Mosques, and administered
through the Islamic state wherever there is one.
The second is Tasawwuf (Islamic mysticism),which
seeks truth through personal religious experience
and not through the scriptures and is espoused by
the Sufis (religious mystics). And the third is
Adab (a concept broadly meaning art and literature)
as a sub-culture of broad-minded and urbane
people of high learning and literary tastes.Poets,
writers and artists are its communicators. Among
Indian Muslims the medium of Adab was Persian. Now
it is Urdu. Because of this orientation, looking
at the influence of religion on the sex roles
between men and women is not as simple within the
Muslim culture as it might initially seem.
