Islam - Michael Paff

Islam is a political force that administers certain religious, social, and economic practices to be held as law amongst communities, and drives conquest of other nations.

  1. Sounds like your essay is going to be very detailed orientated, you should use law books for one of your sources.

  3. This is a very strong definition with lots of qualifiers. You might want to split this up a bit, because this is a pretty complex definition. I really like your qualifiers, and they are concise. I would clarify the word community because this could vary between different cultures, but otherwise this is a great definition!

  4. With this definition, there is a lot you can potentially talk about in your essay, great choice! Instead of 'certain religions' you can state the main one that the majority of people believe in.

  7. You should make your definition more simpler because it seems like a complex one to me. And also, try to clarify "political force".

  8. I'm agreeing with Khoa on this one, "force" is something that should be clarified. Other than that, I think you're set.

  9. This is the first time I hear of this word. So you might use academic sources to make your points strong and persuasive.

  10. This is a very difficult thing to define. I think what you have is a good start, but you may want to simplify it (as others have said) because other wise you are going to end up having a very difficult time writing a conclusion.

  11. Good topic! I agree with Holland because it seems very specific and this could go on for more than 6 pages because your also going to have to do the opposed view of this definition and that could go on forever haha but great topic.

  12. First of all, I would really want to read you paper because you definition of Islam is way different for anyone or just the actual definition. I would totally argue with you definition, and I am very curious in how u can prove your definition! You have a good start though.

  13. Im really not sure what your qualifiers are but looking at your definition it seems like you have a good start in what you are thinking so good luck and I hope you can back up your definition.

  14. I would disagree with your simple definition buuuut that's a good thing! I think you do have a lot of proving to do through out your paper, though. Islam is considered an actual religion to a lot of people, not a political force (even though it definitely is being played out as just that. I think you could do a lot with jus that aspect. Good qualifiers too, nice job

  15. This is a clean and concise definition, as well as being argumentative. Well done! I don’t see anything wrong in my eyes.

  18. Great topic and definition. You have set your paper up to be very interesting.

  19. A controversial topic that should be interesting! I like how you will be portraying the positivity of it, rather than the stereotypical American view of Islam that does not shed light on the positivity of the religion in itself.
