Kayleigh,
All praise is to Allah for your input! You were so FORTUNATE to have this opportunity in school to learn this.
Thank you for sharing this. Do you recall the name of the World History Class name of the textbook?...or were these subjects brought into the classroom for a broad exposure to these religions?
Salam
We never used a specific textbook for our religions unit. We had handouts from various texts and copies directly from the Bible and Qur'an and some lectures.
Someone already pointed out that many schools a required to teach religion in the context of history and geography, etc. This is true, from what I've seen. A world religions unit is required at many schools and usually includes Hinduism, Buddhism, Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Although I think my teacher went a stop above what was required by having us read from the Bible and Qur'an. I don't think any of the other World History teachers did this in my school.
