pg 129 "Practical Holiness: A Second Look"


"Islam is a monotheistic religion founded by Mohammed in 7th century Arabia. Moslems worship the God of the Bible, but believe that Mohammed's book, the Koran, is God's Word for today. They are forbidden to drink alcoholic beverages, eat blood, or gamble.
Conservative Moslem women wear very modest clothing and refuse to wear masculine clothing. Saudi Arabia, controlled by a strict Moslem sect, placed a ban upon television because of its immoral influences, while Iran banned rock music for the same reason."
