1. In what ways does the Islam of the Koran resemble the Judaism and Christianity of the Old and New Testaments? How is it different? Cite some specific examples.
2. How would you account for the rapid expansion of Islam in the years 630 to 750 A.D.? What factors contributed to this expansion?
3. What were the greatest contributions of the Emperor Justinian? How did his actions strengthen Eastern Rome/Byzantium and set the stage for its future?
4. Compare and contrast the descriptions of military campaigns by European historians, the Byzantine historian Procopius and the Muslim military accounts of al-Baladhuri and Abd-el-Hakem. Which of these accounts seems to be more “modern” in form by taking into account causal relationships rather than divine intervention?
5. Compare and contrast the expansion of Islam under the Ummayad Caliphate (650-750) and Abbasid Caliphate (750-1050). Where and how was Islam expanded under these two dynasties?
