Islam and Politics: #BusinessEHAPeoplePYfacts / Information, History From: Crash Course World History 216 13 minute, 27 second youtube video 488,380 Views / 13,080 Likes / 588 Dislikes November 14, 2014 In which John Green teaches about how Islam has interacted with politics during its history, and how it continues to do so today. Islamist movements are in the news a lot lately, but how did that happen. John will point out that Islam has alway been tied to political movements. Mohammed was not only a religious leader, he led an empire. So how did this lead to modern movements like ISIS? Islam has traditionally been a pretty egalitarian religion, and its scriptures value peace, so it is surprising in a lot of ways that such a violent fundamentalist movement would come out of it. What is a caliphate? What is a Caliph? John will teach all about it. Take it easy in the comments, yall. Be kind and respectful to each other.
