What I had learned this week about the Koran is that the Koran is very confusing and out of order. Unlike the bible the dates go in order and when the bible is telling a story it finishes it and at the end there is always a lesson or a morale to learn from it. When the Koran comes to rights like the rights of women in a way it is kinda of the same rules in the bible. The bible says that the wife must submit to the husband but she has the freedom to wear what she wants to wear. In the Koran and in the Islamic culture/religion the men want the woman to wear a veil of some sort to cover their faces and no skin be exposed. That is just an example that I chose because it was one of the most significant thing that popped out to me after we had read the Koran. Lastly I learned that the Islamic religion is very faithful, loyal and doesn't like Christians very much. I find that Christianity is more appealing or reliable because I was born and raised into Christianity, I grew up only learning about Christianity. If you were a person that believed in the Islamic religion you would say the same as I would. Which would be, you were born into Islamic tradition and culture and if you were taught any other religion it would be weird for them if all of the sudden you threw Christian values and ways into their face and told them that Jesus Christ is our savior and not Allah.
