Tuesday, March 23, 2010. Are We Following Our Own Religion? Time for some rants and personal insight! So I couldn't help but dwell on a comment that was made in class by one of my classmates.

Monday, February 8, 2010. Islam After 9/11 (Entry #11). First of all, I have to say that this week's readings were one of those parts of a course where my mind approached things differently but was also challenged. I knew the issue was much more complicated than what is already out there and these two readings just blew me away and it was really interesting to see the authors examining the issue through a different viewpoint.the Feminism, the Taliban, and Politics of Counter-Insurgency.

Monday, March 22, 2010. Judaism and The Silk Road (Entry #13). Other evidence of their presence come from their incorporation into laws. For example, Judaism was listed as a religio lictia, meaning it was a religion that was permitted by law. This also means that their practices and beliefs were heavily regulated by the government; i.e. their dietary laws. If so, were they different from "pure" Judaism since they were regulated by the law? Posted by Nikat Sansaar. Monday, March 22, 2010.

Saturday, February 20, 2010. The Great Game (Entry #12). Reading on the explorers that were involved in the journey of discovering the Silk Road was intriguing. First of all, it reminded me of the book we read in the beginning of this course, titled Foreign Devils on the Silk Road.

Tuesday, November 24, 2009. Buddhism and Dunhuang (Entry #7). Offerings found in Dunhuang caves). Art in a Dunhuang cave). Dunhuang probably served as a pilgrimage site for Buddhist monks and nuns to gain merit, meditate or to give offerings because it was mainly busy when there were major festivals. For the laity, it also served as merit profit for they could give donations in their name that helped with the upkeep and creation of the caves. Posted by Nikat Sansaar. Tuesday, November 24, 2009.
