However, since 9/11 one religion has been
disrespected by thousands of Americans who are
ignorant to a very old and peaceful religion.

People who practice the Islamic faith have been
discriminated against because of a few radical
extremists who carried out the terrorist attack
on that day.

You have recently been hired by the local chapter
of the Center for Islamic Studies to develop a
PowerPoint to teach non-Muslim high school
students about this religion.

Before beginning your research and presentation,
It is important to realize the mission of the
Center for Islamic studies

• - To educate non-Muslims about the beliefs,
  traditions, and history of the Islamic faith.
  (This may be difficult because of some
  pre-concieved notions of many Americans since
  9/11)

While developing your PowerPoint slideshow it is
important to consider the following four points

• The history of Islam
• Islamic beliefs
• Cultural advances and achievements
• The spread of Islam
