The country of Saudi Arabia has only one religion which caused Islam: it is the largest religion in the Middle East. Followers of Islam are Muslims. Muslims believe in one God just like Jews and Christians, the main difference is the belief in the nature of God. The word for God in Arabic is Allah and that is what Muslims call God. Looking at history, beliefs and terrorists Muslims, Islam was seen as a bad religion. The Islamic religion is generally a very peaceful religion and very few Muslims are radical, which gives the religion a bad stereotype. The year Islam was founded is not known, but what is known is that the last prophet was Muhammad. Muhammad was the last prophet to hear the last words of Allah. Muslims also believe in angels. Angels only worship God and obey him (Islamonline). According to Hobbs and Salter, one of the Angel Gabriels is the one who brought the words of Allah to Muhammad. The angel Gabriel did this by going to Muhammad and telling him the words of God. When he was meditating just outside Mecca, where he wrote the words of the Quran (234). For the next twenty years, Muhammad began to preach the new message that "there is no god, but God?" (234). The people of Mecca saw Muhammad and his followers as an economic threat because the city depended on pilgrimage traffic to the Ka'aba. The people of Mecca had Muhammad and his followers go to the city that is now known as Medina. At that time, Medina had the largest Jewish population. The Meccans and Muslims had many conflicts with each other, and in 630 AD the Muslims took control of the city of Mecca (234). After Muhammad's death in the middle of the paper, they believed incredibly strongly in their religion, dedicating everything in their lives to Allah. Islamic terrorists? inventing some Islam, but giving all Islam is a bad stereotype. Many of the beliefs are the same in other religions, but Islam is unique in its own way.
