Summary
1. How does Islam shape the values of
society?
2. How can we compare and contrast
Islam, Judaism, and Christianity?
1. One similarity between the Five Pillars of
Islam and the Ten Commandments is that
both
(1) provide a guide to proper ethical and moral
behavior
(2) encourage the use of statues to symbolize God
(3) promote learning as a means to salvation
(4) support a belief in reincarnation
2. Judaism, Islam, and Christianity share a
belief in
(1) the central authority of the Pope
(2) a prohibition of the consumption of port
(3) reincarnation and the Four Noble Truths
(4) monotheism and ethical conduct
3. Jewish religious and cultural identity has
been greatly influenced by
(1) the New Testament and the Four Noble Truths
(2) Ramadan and the concept of reincarnation
(3) the Torah and the Diaspora
(4) the Koran and the code of bushido
4. One way in which the Vedas, the Bible,
and the Koran are similar is that these
religious books
(1) provide guidelines to govern the behavior of
believers
(2) deny the existence of a supreme being who rules
the universe
(3) encourage strife between segments of believers
(4) support political rebellions to overthrow existing
governments
5. The Buddhist religion teaches that
salvation is earned by
(1) worshiping Allah as the one true god
(2) following the Ten Commandments
(3) learning to give up selfish desire
(4) being baptized and confirmed
