Hello Class and WWWorld!
Today I am going to BLOG about the speaker and the books she brought in...even though I came in late today due to personal matters, I very happy I caught the lecture (and more than half the class), the women was inslightful and warm, you could tell that her and her daughter put a lot of time making the slide and even bringing in books to share with the class. The books she passed through I thought were very interesting, I took some extra time looking at the first one that was passed around. It was used as a learning tool for people to get to know about the history, culture and just in general interesting facts. I found myself reading about the black stone of mecca a huge black dimanond or crystal it was said to be found by Abraham (Ibrahim) heres a link I thought it was really interesting so of course I did some outside reasearch....http://www.crystalinks.com/blackstone.html
Great books great speaker.

Thanks for the research on the Black Stone... I had no idea that they relate it back to verses in the Bible. I was reading the link that you posted, and I found they were using the verses from the Bible out of context. It was interesting, though, to see how they interpret the verses.
ReplyDeleteI learned about Mecca in my religion course last year. It might be a good idea to research the oilgrimage or Hagg that Muslims are inclined to go on.
