Class Today

Today in class we continued to go over the blog about the 5 key religions. We spent part of the time reviewing Christianity but then we went over Islam and got a speech from Kishan about Hinduism. We learned a lot about Islam. One thing that really surprised me was that they pray 5 times a day everyday. No matter what you are doing at the time you have to stop and pray. To pray the sit down and face the direction of Mecca. Then they put their heads on the floor and say their prayers. If you are in school at the time you would usually just do the prayer as a class. Also their big central person of the religion would be Muhammad. Then after we were done discussing Islam Kishan gave us a speech about Hinduism. He said that the have one god but he is reincarnated into different gods. So in a was they are both monotheistic and polytheistic. It is kinda hard to understand that though. This is what we were able to accomplish in Human geography class.
