Researching Islam & Iran/Persia


For your exam on Wednesday, you need to have complete understanding of the basic beliefs and practices of Islam as well as the modern history of Persia and Iran, dating from the 1908-ish to the present time. These ideas and facts should be recorded in your notes. Follow the keywords and structure on your notes sheets.
