Islam, the Quran, and the Five Pillars All Without a Flamewar: Crash Course World History #13
(Green's description of the Koran is from about the 2 min. mark through the 7 minute mark)
Published on Apr 19, 2012
In which John Green teaches you the history of Islam, including the revelation of the Qu'ran to Muhammad, the five pillars of Islam, how the Islamic empire got its start, the Rightly Guided Caliphs, and more. Learn about hadiths, Abu Bakr, and whether the Umma has anything to do with Uma Thurman (spoiler alert: it doesn't). Also, learn a little about the split between Sunni and Shia Muslims, and how to tell if this year's Ramadan is going to be difficult for your Muslim friends. Let's try to keep the flame wars out of this reasoned discussion.
This video was full of information. From the history of Islam to the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims. I love John Green videos because he says so much information in a way that students can capture and really understand.

The five pillars of Islam is extremely interesting to me. The fasting part is what always fascinates me the most. I have never voluntarily fasted and would actually like to give it a try one day
