World: Today we recapped & debriefed the material you read in the text chapter 10, sec 1 & 2; and further discussed the significance of rise, expansion and spread related to Islam. You viewed about 30 minutes of Islam: Empire of Faith (assessable on YOUTUBE) related to the first segment, the messenger. The material coincides with the rise, spread and expansion.
