Christianity vs. Islam Quick Write
Take some time to think about what you have learned about the development of Christianity and Islam. Think back to how both religions came about, what difficulties early followers faced, and how the religions spread throughout Europe and the Middle East. Now, answer the following questions:
1) In what ways are Christianity and Islam similar? Different?
2) Why were both religions seen as attractive to the lower classes and how would you react to either religion spreading to where you live?**
You should write two paragraphs, one for each question.
**For the second question, you must pretend that you are living in the medieval period with no knowledge of either religion from a modern perspective.
