Caravan Log for the 19th of February, 2008
Some things I learned in social studies today, on the 19th of February, 2008 are the following. During the golden age of Islam, Baghdad was a great center of learning and art. Here is a fact I found very interesting: the former Soviet Union’s (USSR) population was 20% Muslim. I also learned that the Hadeeth is a collection of quotes and sayings of the prophet `Muhammad. During the time of the Islam empire, Muslim mathematicians contributed to Modern European civilization by using Arabic numerals including the concept of zero, Algebra, Geometry, and using time in mathematics. Another fact I found interesting is that there are 1.4 million Christian Arabs, most of them living in Lebanon.
