PART B

 Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. This is interesting given that the basis of Islam is submission, specifically submission to Allah, but also to various beliefs, rituals and requirements. The Muslim idea of submission continues the original understanding of religion, as noted in the textbook, as a tying back or a restraint (1).

• Is Islam on to something? Is the increasing population of Muslims an indication that people want to move back to a life of constraint?
• Be sure to respond to at least one of your classmates’ posts. Responses should be substantive, provide additional context, and provide evidence (cite source) to support ideas. Dialogue should be meaningful, constructive, and respectful.
