I wasn't in class today because we had a game against Calvert Hall. In class we were supposed to take a 100 point test so i guess thats what you all did. So its probably a good idea if i made that up tomorrow. But since i wasn't in class thats all i have to say.

In class today, we spent a good amount of time getting some peoples final grade in for their 9/11 paper in the grade 'book' for their mid-quarter grades. After we got over all these grades and stuff, we started going over whats going to be on the test on Wednesday because its a 100 point test and that will affect our overall grade really bad. We talked about how America was the only country that has ever dropped a nuclear bomb, but Iran HAS a nuclear bomb. Iran won't be able to drop that bomb on us though because we have so many jets and satellites that go through the air at all times so we are protected from an aircraft from other countries. We also told how Iran and Iraq would try to take Israel off the face of the planet, either politically or literally. Mecca is Islams most holy place in the world. I asked if we would bomb Iran's nuclear plant with a little bomb that would set off Iran's nuke that they are building, and Mr. Schick told me that there are people in the government that are trying to do just that. Al-Quida, the terrorist group formed by Osama Bin Ladin, was the group that attacked us on 9/11. Christianity is the largest religion in the world, with 2.2 to 2.3 billion followers. Islam's holy book is the Qur'an, the Judaism holy book is the Torah, and the Christian holy book is the Holy Bible. Christianity and Judaism's holy place is Jerusalem. Judaism has 14 to 17 million followers. Islam has over 1 billion followers. All three religions (Islam, Judaism, and Christianity) are Abrahamic religions. Iran has a theocracy, this means they live by the law in the Qur'an. By law, Muslims have to prey to Mecca five times a day. I'm pretty sure that was a good enough blog to get a 100% in your class for the year.

In class we all presented our prezis. Everyone took notes about what they heard that was important into their blog. My notes were:

• A Muslim a follower of the religion of Islam. The word Muslim means one who submits to God
• The Qur'an is the Islam Holy Book
• The Holy Bible is the Christian Holy Book 
• Christians believe in The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit is three in one
• All three religions are monotheistic
• Jews believe Jesus was a prophet, but believe Yahweh is the only real God
• Mecca, Medina, and Jerusalem are the three major holy sites that Muslims believe in an prey to.
• Christian population is 2.1 billion, the most practiced religion in the world
• Islam believes that Allah is the all mighty God.
• The Jewish population is 13-14 million, the 12th largest religion in the world
• The Jewish Holy Book is the Torah 
• Christianity has many different denominations. They all have the same basic idea about Jesus Christ and God but some churches are more orthodox then other churches within Christian beliefs 
• Jesus was born onto earth as a Jew, but brought the faith of Christianity. 
• All three religions began in the Middle East. All pretty close to each other.

In class today we got in groups and I was in a group with Amir, Jordan, and Jessica. We had to randomly pick a country out of a bucket and we got Iran. After researching Iran we went over all the groups told the class what they learned. Important things that were said by groups were; Egypt is located in between the Mediterranean Sea, Red Sea, and Nile River. There are over 76,000,000 people in Egypt, thats 16th most in the world, but they are not very ethnically diverse. Saudi Arabia's population is 28,686,633 they're #2 in oil production in the world and #1 in the world for oil exports. Saudi Arabia is 100% Muslim.
