Today in class, Mr. Schick discussed highlighting more key contexts in the packet we had received. In Europe, Muslims account for percent of the population, about 4 million, a legacy of immigration from predominantly Muslim former colonies in North Africa. Germany has about 3 million Muslims. Estimates of the number of Muslims in North America vary widely, from 1 million to 5 million. Approximately one-third of U.S Muslims trace their ancestry to Pakistan and other South Asian countries and one-fourth to Arab countries of Southwest Asia and North Africa. Buddhism is clustered primarily in East Asia and Southeast Asia. 97 percent of Hindus are concentrated in just one country (India), 2 percent are in Nepal, 1 percent are in Bangladesh, and small numbers are elsewhere. Roughly two-fifths of the world's 14 million Jews live in the United States and another two-fifths in Israel. Judaism is the first recorded religion to espouse monotheism, belief that there is only one God. The four Gospels of the Christian Bible are Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Document miracles and extradentary deeds that the writers believed Jesus performed. He was referred to as Christ. That is some of the notes that I had underlined in the packet today.
