WW chapter 11

I found it really interesting how the different types of eurasian cultures were able to travel from such far places and start their own traditions.  I especially found it interesting how Islam was able to acquire a serious presence in the united states today.  Islam is such a far distance from the United states, that is just unbelievable how these people were able to come such a great distance and make such a strong presence in a continent so far from their homeland.  Even the new religions that were formed during the time passed has be unreal if you think about it, for example Muhammad Ibn Abdullah was able to start a new religion in the 570-632 era, which is crazy if you think about it because this is a whole religion that we are talking about, with many followers.  For one person to start an entire religion, its just so shocking to even think about that.  When you start to fathom the amount of power and dedication that it take to start a religion, that is just un real to even consider, let alone think about.
