Build on What You Know You might have seen on the television news
that when a leader dies or resigns, a power struggle follows to determine
his or her successor. After Muhammad died, several groups fought for
control of the Muslim world. In 661, the Umayyad family won this power
struggle. The Umayyads built a great empire with Damascus (located in
present-day Syria) as its capital.

Religious Demographics
As this pie chart indicates, there are
five “major religions” in the world:
Judaism (Jews)
Christianity (Christians)
Islam (Muslims)
Hinduism (Hindus)
Buddhism (Buddhists)
Living as Majorities and Minorities
Nearly three-quarters (73%) of the world’s people
live in countries in which their religious group
makes up a majority of the population.
Only about a quarter (27%) of all people live as
religious minorities. (This figure does not include
subgroups of the eight major groups in this study,
such as Shia Muslims living in Sunni-majority
countries or Catholics living in Protestant-majority
countries.)
Overwhelmingly, Hindus and Christians tend to live
in countries where they are in the majority.

Identity
Ibn Battuta was a Moroccan explorer who traveled extensively throughout the
known world. His accounts of his exploits were published in a book known
simply as Journey. His travels lasted three decades, during which he visited
many parts of Africa, Asia, and Europe. In all, he covered a distance about three
times as great as Marco Polo, who lived at about the same time. As such, Ibn
Battuta is considered one of the great explorers of the medieval period.

The Historic Scale of Syria’s Refugee Crisis
The Syrian refugee crisis has exploded from
about 270,000 people a year ago to today’s
tally of more than two million who have fled the
country. The pace of the diaspora has been
characterized by the United Nations as the
worst since the Rwandan genocide in 1994. In
addition, an estimated 4.25 million Syrians
have been displaced within their country,
bringing the total number forced into flight to
more than six million.
33
Why Sunnis and
Shiites are fighting…
The divide between the Sunni and
Shiite branches of Islam is both
ancient and still highly consequential
today.
In Syria, a Sunni-majority country
dominated by members of a Shiite
sect, fighting that began as antigovernment has taken on sectarian
overtones.
That has spilled over to Iraq, which
is Shiite-majority and has a
predominantly Shiite government but
is increasingly troubled by Sunni
rebels.
And the region's major powers have
long pushed sectarian interests, with
Shiite-majority Iran on one side and
Sunni-majority Saudi Arabia on the
other.
