In Western Asia our goal is to see how religion can affect both politics and culture. We discover the beauty and reverence of Islamdom and study the four cultures that have settled the region: Arab, Iranian, Turkic and Israeli, learning a little about the history of each and how they live together today.Textbook topics include: Mountains in Western AsiaRivers in Western AsiaBiomes & ClimateSandstormsOil in the Middle EastOPECIslamdom ShariaIslamic DressSharia & FoodIslamic FestivalsUnderstanding ExtremismThe Arab World & the Arab LeagueSaudi ArabiaIranTurkeyIraqIsraelPlaces of WorshipMosquesSynagogues
