1 10 26 Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading. Examples include books, letters, dissertations, poems, newspapers, articles, archives of mailing lists. Note that facsimiles or images of texts are still of the genre Text. Text Any textual data included in the document This analysis was conducted across countries and across ethnic groups and establishes that proximity to the pre-600 CE (-22 Hijri) trade network is a robust predictor of today's Muslim adherence in the Old World. This text also shows that Islam spread successfully in regions that are ecologically similar to the birthplace of the religion, the Arabian Peninsula. Namely, territories characterized by a large share of arid and semi- arid regions dotted with few pockets of fertile land are more likely to host Muslim communities. We discuss the various mechanisms that may give rise to the observed pattern.

Title A name given to the resource 1000-1750 Deeper Understanding Subject The topic of the resource Islamic Tolerance and Islamic Compatibility with Science Description An account of the resource Islam's compatibility with science is not surprising, as generally Islam is a pretty tolerant religion. During its initial spread and conquer of the rest of the Near East, Islam allowed those that they conquered to more or less continue with their lives, which included continuing to practice religions other than Islam. Similarly, with science and its progression, rather than denying it and forcing it away, Muslims incorporated it into their religion, community, and every day lives.

Title A name given to the resource 1000-1750 Introduction Description An account of the resource This period marked a rise in Islamic militarism, but did not mean a decline in scientific and architectural innovation. Instead, as shown by sites such as the Citadel of Aleppo, militant leadership did embrace the Muslim scientific and architectural prowess. Although in this time period there also were points of contention, as the Ottoman Empire sought a potentially different view of science and Islam than did many other Muslims. (This is not to say that either party denounced science and architecture, they just saw their interactions with Islam differently.) Moreover, as the Black Death spread throughout the world, misconceptions about Muslim relations to science began to arise. Despite all of this however, Muslims still produced many revolutionary scientific discoveries, as well as continued their refinement of a truly unique Islamic architectural style.

Title A name given to the resource 750-1000 Introduction Description An account of the resource While Europe plunged into their "dark ages", Islam rose into their golden age, making an extraordinary amount of progress both as a religion and community, and in the scientific fields. A large part of this was due to the growth and magnetism of Baghdad. Named the capital of Islam by the 'Abbasid Dynasty, Baghdad attracted philosophers, physicians, astronomers, alchemists, writers, and other top-tier thinkers, who together made Baghdad, and in turn Islam, a scientific jewel of the world.

Title A name given to the resource 600-750 Deeper Understanding Subject The topic of the resource Dome of the Rock Description An account of the resource Something cool about the Dome of the Rock is that its design is not necessarily a unique Islamic style, but rather heavily influenced by Byzantine and Roman styles. At this point in time, Islam was still developing its own unique identity and style, which would begin to appear in later architectural constructions.

Title A name given to the resource 600-750 Introduction Description An account of the resource This period was a time of questioning and development. As Islam grew, so did their influence, and their recognition as scientific and architectural pioneers became more and more widespread. Perhaps their greatest feat was the Dome of the Rock, located in Jerusalem. Its architectural masterpiece was unmatched, and it represented Islam's arrival to global religion and politics.

Title A name given to the resource Introduction (Pre-600 and Overall) Description An account of the resource Islam, science, and architecture are heavily intertwined. Although some believe the misconception that many Muslims tried to distance themselves from science, the opposite is actually the case. Influenced by the ancient greeks, Muslims significantly influenced and progressed science, discovering and inventing a variety of things ranging from the toothbrush to flying machines to hospitals. Moreover, as Islam grew, and their own unique art and architecture styles developed, their influence appeared across Europe, Africa, and Asia, representing the spread of Islam and the significance of Muslims in all aspects of scientific and architectural progression.
