A Day: Religion as Justification

Hello everyone!  Yesterday we discussed the various empires throughout the world within the 14th-15th centuries.  We discussed the Aztecs, Incas, Mughals, Ottomans, and Safavid Empires.  We also looked at the culture and political situations within Africa and East Asia.  As we discussed, many of these civilizations were driven by religion and/or cultural traditions.  Therefore, for homework, please find a current event that relates to a religion being used as justification for an action.  When you find the current event, print it out and write a one-paragraph summary about the article.  We are going to discuss these in the beginning of tomorrow's classes.  Please email me if you have any questions.  Have a great day!
