Reading response 6

         Reading the chapters this time is much enjoyable, and there is lots of new thoughts coming to my mind. For example, one interesting idea is that Jerusalem is liking a magnet.      As we all know, a magnet can draw anything that has iron. So Jerusalem is. Anything have a connection with religion, Jerusalem always could be the holy city. No matter how many holy cities a religion have, there always is a position for Jerusalem.  How is it possible? I think I need to keep this question until there is enough information to answer that.

For now, I want to talk about the chapter 11 and 12. Because chapter 13 is not enjoyable to read, and too much disturbance make me feel very bad, so I wouldn't to talk about it.  

As we know, chapter 8 to 10 is talking about how was Jerusalem becoming the holy city of Christian. Thus, chapter 11 to 13 is about Jerusalem and Muslims. It is good to see that Islam is such a gentle religion. They focus on harmony, life purpose and direction, and it is almost a modern idea about religion. Yes, that is religion. Religion is a way providing a positive way to lead people to a good environment. What's more, when Jews and Christian rejected the idea of Muhammad about God, Muhammad respecting them, from my perceptive, is a presenting greatness about him.

Then, I am going to talk about policies when Muslim occupied the city.

Even if there are lots of limitations of their policies in Jerusalem, but the way they treat local people is in a great manners. I don't know how to describe my feelings, but I would love to say that people in today's world should learn something from it.   

Therefore, I have one question left now. How is a politeness nation becoming today's terrorists?
