When i think of the middle east i think of a lot of terrorists and a lot of oil being drilled there. jjklasdjfslafj.zcxnmfjsdaijiruewaoij i remember last year that mrs lopiccolo told us in world geography that they drill the most oil in the world. i know there are a lot of terrorists there cause there is a lot of war and we have soldiers over there.

Misconceptions about Islam

I thought that pretty much all Muslims are Arabs, but it turns out that only 18% are Arab. This surprised me because i thought the Arabs invented Islam. I found out that the two leading Muslim countries are Indonesia and Bangladesh and neither of those countries are Arab countries.

I thought it was kind of weird that Islam does not reject Jesus because they believe in a totally different religon than Christianity. They say that Jesus is a messenger of Allah, so they are pretty much saying that everybody is a messenger to Allah.
