Islam
• Religion that
reaches into all
aspects of life.
Origins
Birth of Islam- 622 A.D.
Arabia/ city of Mecca
Started by Muhammad the prophet
Conflicts Due to Religious Perspectives
Islam forbids the
creation of
denominations in the
religion.
People have done this
anyway and created
conflict between Muslims.
It is considered a bad thing
to call a Muslim a Bid' Atee,
Mushrik, or Kafir (nonMuslim).
Conflicts Due to Religious Perspectives:
The Shia-Sunni Split
The Shia and Sunni
disagreed on who was
going to succeed
Muhammad.
Shia thought
family member
should succeed
Muhammad.
The Sunnis
prevailed.
Sunnis wanted
to
choose leader
to the Muslim
community.
But the groups are still separated today.
