Use the following quotation to answer questions 14–16. “So was I speaking and weeping in the most bitter contrition of my heart, when, lo! I heard from a neighboring house a voice, as of boy or girl, I know not, chanting and oft repeating, ‘Take up and read; Take up and read.’ Instantly, my countenance altered, I began to think most intently, whether children were wont [likely] in any kind of play to sing such words: nor could I remember ever to have heard the like. So checking the torrent of my tears, I arose; interpreting it to be no other than a command from God, to open the book, and read the first chapter I should find. . . . Instantly at the end of [the first] sentence, by a light as it were of serenity infused into my heart, all the darkness of doubt vanished away.” —St. Augustine, as quoted in The Discoverers 14.

There were several major cities with strong bishops in early Christianity. Alexandra and Antioch were among the strongest. The bishop at Rome came on in power as Christianity became more tolerable and the bishop at Constantinople gain almost instant power when Constantine officially recognized the religion. The several strong bishoprics continued to compete for scholarly and religious supremacy. When Islam appeared and grew into an empire, cities like Antioch and Alexandra were no longer dominated by Christianity. So the last two major centers of Christian power became Rome and Constantinople. Rome and the western half of it's empire fell. Since it's conquerers were Christian, they favored the bishop in Rome to legitimize their power. Likewise, the Bysintines favored the patriarch at Constantinople. Eventually, these two cities quest for dominance clashed. They used religon and doctrinal differences to justify claims of superiority. The Great Schism in 1054 started as a cultural clash involving Greek, which was spoken by the Byzantines, and Latin, which was spoken in Rome. The Patriarch of Constantinople shut down all Latin churches in his city. Pope Leo, in Rome, sent a delegation to Constantinople to demand the reopening of the churches. The Patriarch refused so the cardinal in charge excommunicated the Patriarch. Leo died, but the Patriarch excommunicated him and all the delegation. It seemed a little thing at first, but it ended up being a great cause it both halves of the former Roman empire. Rome and Constantinople both claimed to have the "real" brand of Christianity. The geographic and political split was accomplished by each side justifying superiority by claiming God was on their side.

Muhammad's message was "God is one" and complete submission to God is the only way of life acceptable to Him. Muhammad presented this message, not as a new religion, but as a restoration of the teachings of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and Jesus.

OpenStudy (wwhitlock):

Muhammad was opposed by the tribes who used Mecca as a storage place for their idols. Many tribes were still nomadic and left religious idols in Mecca and came by to see them as they traveled by. The less nomadic tribes did the same. Muhammad's preaching of one God conflicted with this practice so he and his followers eventually left for the city of Yathrib (Medina) in 622. The idea of submission to one god was better received in Medina. Muhammad's group of followers grew. They spent 8 years in Medina, some times doing battle with tribes from around Mecca. In 431, Muhammad had enough followers that he was able to amass and army of 10,000 to take Mecca. They didn't face much opposition. They took the city and threw out all the idols. He sent his soldiers out to demolish the shrines of idols throughout Arabia. As is often the case, religious power is political power. When Muhammad died in 432, the whole peninsula was dominated by Islam. After Muhammad died. Successive Muslim leaders followed the same model of spreading Islam by destroying local religious/political structures. The exception being Christians and Jews, "people of the book" as Muhammad referred to them. In the Empires that followed, Islam was established and Arab power was supreme but local groups were allowed to run the day to day operation. In this respect, these empires were similar to the Roman Empire.
