(if you send an answer that doesn't answer at all just to get points you will be reported multiple times)

Answer:

a. Explain the difference between an ethnic group and a religious group.

Ethnic vs. Religious Group Station

An ethnic group is a group of people who share cultural ideas and

beliefs that have been a part of their community for generations. The

characteristics they may have in common could include a language, a

religion, a shared history, types of foods, and a set of traditional stories,

beliefs, or celebrations. These things make up a common culture shared by

those in a particular ethnic group.

An example of an ethnic group from Southwest Asia is the Kurds.

This group lives in a mountain region that spans Iran, Iraq, Syria, and

Turkey. Kurds speak Kurdish, and most are Muslim. Kurds do not have

their own homeland or government. They are a minority group ruled by

the country where they live. Other examples of ethnic groups in the

Middle East include Arab and Persian, among others.

A religious group shares a belief system in a god or gods, with a

specific set of rituals and literature. People from different ethnic groups

may share the same religion, though they may be from very different

cultures. Religion has been important to the history of Southwest Asia.

Christianity, Islam, Judaism were started in this region. People who follow

Judaism are called Jews. Followers of Christianity are called Christians.

Followers of Islam are called Muslims.

Arabs Station

Southwest Asia is home to many different ethnic groups who share

similar religions. The Arabs of Southwest Asia believe themselves to be

descendants of Abraham in the Bible, through his son Ishmael. They make

up the majority of those who live throughout the region known as

Southwest Asia, though there are many differences among them. Most

Arabs practice the religion of Islam and call themselves Muslims.

Those who call themselves Muslims are further divided, as some call

themselves Sunni Muslims, while others are Shia Muslims. Many Arabs

are Christians. Most Arabs, whether they are Muslim or Christian, speak

the Arabic language.

3. What language do most Arabs speak?

a. Explain the diversity of religions within the Arabs, Persians, and

Kurds.

Persians Station

Persians are those who live in the modern country of Iran. The

Persian people are descended from a different group than those who are

Arabs and Jews. Their ancestors were Indo-Europeans, from Central

Europe and Southern Russia.

The country of Persia became known as Iran after World War I.

Persians, or Iranians, speak Farsi, a language that uses the Arabic alphabet

but is actually a different language. They practice Islam, but most belong

to the Shia group of Muslims. About 15 percent of the Muslims in the

world are Shia. The other 85 percent are Sunni Muslims.

Dominant Religion: Islam, 93%

Location(s): Primarily Mauritania, Atlantic coast of Africa, North Africa, Egypt, Sudan, the Arabian Peninsula, and Syria and Iraq.

Some Arab traditions include, but are not limited to:

Long handshakes, grasped elbows, and walking hand in hand by two males.

ASHANTI

Dominant Religion: Traditional Ashanti religion. (Monotheistic)

BANTU:

SWAHILI:

Location: East Africa

Dominant Religion: Sunni Islam (finally, a simple answer)

Culture: "Swahili culture is the product of the history of the coastal part of the African Great Lakes region. As with the Swahili language, Swahili culture has a Bantu core and has also borrowed from foreign influences. ... As a consequence, they were influenced by Arabic, Persian, Indian, and Chinese cultures."

SIMILARITIES:

All of them are located somewhere in Africa, practice traditional religions, and are all somehow connected to Arab culture
