March 23 Changes--"see" you soon

Thanks to the CCP Virus having turned the world upside down, we will have to make some changes.

I hope we are only out until April 5th. If so, we will try to go ahead with our Grade 4 project. In the meantime, I am preparing topics based on the lecture series, books, and online sources like Dr Reeve's lectures. If this continues more than two weeks, I will substitute a different major assignment.

You have already had a lecture on the spread of Islam and you've seen evidence of what islamists are doing in the world today. We are going to begin this week reading about and discussing the teaching of jihad, which Dr Daileader downplays. However, jihad--a holy war to conquer the world for Allah--has always been the driving force behind Islam's aggressive conquests. 

We will see how Raymond Ibrahim, a specialist in Islamic history, explains jihad. This will give us an important background to understanding the crusades and the constant attacks against the West of the past 1400 years.
