There are a few things that I know about the Arab/Muslim/Middle Eastern world. I know that the three of them are separate, but overlap. I know the basic foundations of Islam, but I’m not sure of the more intricate details of it. I am also familiar with the Arab-Israeli conflict. While it is one of the things that I feel very passionate about, we won’t be able to touch on it very much during this unit. However, this shouldn’t stop you from encouraging your social studies teacher from teaching you about it.

I would also like to know more about the literature that is produced in the Arab world, Muslim world, and Middle East. I’m familiar with what novels, stories, and poems are popular in Western culture, but what kinds of things make up “canonical” Arab literature? Finally, I would like to know more about the current issues in the Arab world, Muslim world, and Middle East, especially in Iraq, Iran, and Pakistan.
