2. Arab means lacking moisture to skin
3. Arabs and muslims contributed three things to the society of education; art, caligraphy and numbers!

Questions about Islam
In Social Studies class we are learning a brand new unit, Islam. I cant wait because I am a muslim myself and I would like to learn more than I already know about my culture and religion. There arent many questions that I have about Islam but I am willing to answer many of questions that you have for me!!
Some questions that I have about this unit are how vast would the islamic relgion spread across the globe. Also, I know that this unit has alot of group activities. In the group activites we, our group, will be facing many obsotcles to get to the finish. But I was wondering if all the activites had to be in groups, were there any individual activites. When I say activities I dont mean writing up an essay or anything like that. I was hoping that the individual activities would be physical activites that include building or running or stuff like that so that it would make it easier for us to understand things that we dont understand and it would also be fun at the sametime. These are some questions and suggestions that I have about the Islamic unit.
