Bibliography

//**Annotated Bibliographies:**//

**Awal, Jamadil. "Prophet Muhammad ."** //**Prophet Muhammad**//**. Sabr Foundation, 23/4/2010. Web. 23 Apr 2010. [].** This website is very useful because it is a website fully based on giving information on Muhammad. On this website you can navigate through links that narrow down your search. On this website you can choose a topic and then it will give you a choice of articles that give a wide range of information. This website is brought from the Sabr Foundation, the Sabr Foundation is a website that is made to give information on the history of Muslims. There is a slight bias to this website since the creators of this website are probably Muslims that believe highly in the history of Islam.

This source helped me find information about Muhammad that I needed to look up for my PowerPoint, and my short paragraph on the page. Mostly everything that we learned in class was on this website, so it's a reliable source if I had already heard the information in class before. This website is not bias because it is run by Jews, and i don't think they have a bias towards Muslims.

**Clever, Charles. "The Decline of Islamic Supremacy as Predicted in the Bible ." (2005): n. pag. Web. 20 Apr 2010. .** This was written by Charles h. Clever. He graduated Stanford and he has spent much of his time working on his own independent studies. He has looked into this topic and I believe he has sufficient knowledge on this to be a credible source.

This site is good because it gives you a very good background on the Shia Sunni split. It highlights the major events and some of the major differences between the two. The website seems to be accurate because it matched up with the other sources that I used. The website really helped to get me started on what the Shia Sunni split is.

This source was very helpful because it had a lot of information that was laid out in an understandable way. For example, it explained all five pillars and the key holidays, as well as having lots of facts of the origins and history of Islam. The site, called Religion and Ethics, is run by the Australian Broadcasting Company. This site is very credible and has solid information that can be trusted. This site in general could have some biased opinions towards Australia, but the history of Islam does not really involve Australia, so this information is unbiased.

This source was very useful when I was looking for information on the city of Cairo. It gave me the main focus of Cairo, which is a mosque that I mention on the page. This website is run by a company named Tour Egypt where they take people on tours of Egypt. This did have a bias to it because they want Cairo to seem really nice to persuade people onto taking a tour of Egypt with them.

"Muawiyah1." Muawiyah 1. Damascus, n.d. Web. 23 Apr 2010. . This website is also useful because it gives background about Mu'awiyah and also gives some specific information about what Muawiyah. On this website it doesn't only talk about what Mu'awiyah did during his rule, but it also gives some information before that time. However there is some bias in this article, it is a very good source.

"Muslim Population Statistics." The Canadian Society of Muslims//. The Canadian Society of Muslims. Web. 7 Apr. 2010. . This source was very informative about the population of Muslims. I found the facts extremely surprising and I really enjoyed the table and statistics. The site is run by The Canadian Society of Muslims, a non-profit organization, whose mission is to teach people about Muslims. I feel like this website is very accurate, although it has a slight bias towards Muslims.

Perkins, John. "Prosperity and the rise and fall of Islam ." (2003): n. pag. Web. 20 Apr 2010. .** I can trust this source because it was written by John L. Perkins. I looked him up and he seems like a credible source. He has honors degrees in economics at the University of London and he has several other degrees from other universities.

Shia-Sunni Relations." wikipedia . April 22, 2010. wikipedia. 23 Apr 2010 <[|**http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shi'a%E2%80%93Sunni_relations**]**>.** This was a very good site. It not only gave the major highlights of what there was in the Shia Sunni split, but also gave the details on it. It is accurate because it is on Wikipedia, which today is constantly being checked by site administrators who check for accuracy. I used this mostly to get some o the background details which it had a lot of.


 * Worker comunist party, "The Rise and Fall of Political Islam ." //a Quarterly Journal of Politics, Society and Culture, Number 3// (2003): n. pag. Web. 20 Apr 2010. [].**This was written by the worker-communist party of Iran. It is a credible source because this group knows a lot, first hand especially, about this topic. The knowledge and experience this group has makes this source helpful and reliable.
