About This Topic

Islam is one of the world's major monotheistic religions, centered on submission to Allah and the teachings preserved in its sacred texts. Students across religious studies, history, political science, and humanities courses write about Islam because it raises enduring questions about faith, law, culture, and power. Its historical reach across the Middle East and beyond makes it academically rich, touching on theology, civilization, gender, and governance in ways that invite sustained critical analysis.

The papers archived on this topic reflect several distinct approaches. Comparative essays are especially common, placing Islam alongside Christianity and Judeo-Christian traditions to examine shared and divergent beliefs, practices, and historical development. Historical analyses explore events such as the split between Sunni and Shi'ite traditions, as well as the broader arc of Middle Eastern civilization. Other papers take a thematic approach, examining concepts like predestination and free will within Islamic thought, the influence of Islam on Middle Eastern literature, or the relationship between Islam and democracy. The role of women in Muslim life and the political dimensions of religion also appear as recurring focal points.

A strong essay on Islam begins with a precise, arguable thesis rather than a broad statement about the religion as a whole. Evidence drawn from specific historical events, doctrinal distinctions, or cultural practices carries far more weight than generalizations about what Muslims believe. Comparative essays benefit from identifying a clear analytical framework before listing similarities and differences. The most common pitfall is treating Islam as a monolithic tradition; acknowledging internal diversity — across regions, sects, and historical periods — demonstrates the analytical depth that strong academic writing requires.

Racial Profiling the Distinguished Harvard Professor Henry

The essay is an argument on the injustice of racial profiling. Racial profiling is the practice of law enforcement officers in stopping an individual of a certain race or ethnicity and investigating them based on their ethnicity. Such practices may occur in traffic routines, guns or drugs (African Americans), illegal immigration (Hispanics or Latinos), or in matters connected with security (Muslims and Arabs). Racial profiling was authorized in 2001 with the Bureau of Justice Assistance, a division of the Office of Justice Programs, United States Department of Justice, establishing the web-based Racial Profiling Data Collection Resource Center. The website was designed to train police officials in the ropes and tactics of racial profiling and also served as clearing house for police agencies, legislators, community leaders, social scientists, legal researchers, and journalists all of which can be used to collect and formulate racial profiling analyses (*The Institute on Race and Justice at Northeastern University. (2011).). In 2003, however, the Department of Justice issued its Guidance Regarding the Use of Race by Federal Law Enforcement Agencies forbidding the practice of racial profiling by federal law enforcement officials (*Amnesty International USA.(2007)
