We are continuing our discussion of the Umma in this discussion board. For the sake of keeping control of this discussion and making it manageable (to grade) you are limited to no more than 5 posts. You will get half the credit that you would have in class (for the purpose of encouraging in-class discussion) for a maximum of 5 participation pts. The participation will then be scaled along with the class version of the discussion.
I took this pic of the Alhambra in Granada 2009. I added it to set the mood for our discussion :)
