To my Philosophy professor

I wrote this quickly and did no proofread before sending it off...so there were a lot of typos that I've since corrected.

Professor "Person",

I have a few questions and comments regarding what we were talking about in class on Tuesday, and wanted to clarify a few things.

First, in 345 A.D. a primary faith of Europe was non-existant. As far as history suggests, there was a collection of ideas that people appropriated to create a belief structure that, as far as I recall, was not uniform (save Paganism; which wasn't entirely without its branches and offshoots). Historically they had no Profits of God, no messengers to proclaim a message, and it was not until Rome's force of Christianity that they began to conform. As well, when Rome decided to impose their beliefs those people were killed or converted, yes; however, they also moved east and began a nomadic life as "gypsies" or in hiding as Pagans. Most of the people were accepting of Christianity as Christians adopted their holidays into the Christian Faith, making it easier for people to make the transition.
As well, you had mentioned that Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus were spread out through the land the Romans would convert. This, as far as I can recall, is incorrect. Muhammad did not reveal His mission until 610 A. D., so it would be impossible for His Faith to exist in Europe at the time. Going along with that, Buddha and Krishna's Faith's began before Christianity yet within the far east of Asia, and didn't spread themselves very far at all. While there may have been pockets somewhere in Europe and Asia Minor, the likelihood is low.
Lastly, Spain was taken by the Muslims for quite some time. "The religion was dominant in the south of Spain from 711 AD until 1492 AD under the rule of the Arabs and Moors of al-Andalus." (Wikipedia article on the 'Timeline of the Muslim presence in the Iberian peninsula') During this time, Muslims made many of the discoveries that would later be credited to Angelo-, Spanish-, French-, or Portuguese-Christians as some of the most glaringly biased and ignorant maneuverings ever (in my opinion). The Faith prospered in the fields of science, medicine, engineering, creating architecture, etc during the "Dark Ages" as many Christians squabbled amongst themselves and attempted to cure diseases they thought were brought on by the devil by using leeches, often times killed people for no reason other than a cold.

I don't mean this as a lecture, history lesson, a showing you up, or anything like that. If that were my intent, I would have made mention of this during class; which would have been counterproductive and disruptive as the purpose of the comments seemed to be based on illustrating a point about the force of Christianity by the Romans on Europe in the mid-4th century. I just feel very strongly that Islam not be misrepresented in any way shape or form. Based solely on conversations I've heard on DePaul's campus and in the workplace, most people don't know anything of Islam passed the words Islam, Muslim, Allah, and, possibly, Quran, and this is a grave under-sight for such a beautiful, loving, and proud Faith of God to be ignored, misrepresented, or slandered in anyway shape or form.
Please also note that I would have done the same in regards to Christianity, Buddhism, Judaism, or any of the other Revealed Religions of God.
I do hope you understand, again, that this is not meant as a slight to you. I think you're a wonderful professor and are doing a fantastic job dealing with a class where many of the students refuse to open their mouths or the few who are, perhaps, overly eager to answer as often as we possibly can.

After my next class with him he informed me that he wanted to print the ramble off and show it to the class, not giving an answer why. It felt kind of weird to have him say that since I was writing something private. Regardless...now it is public.
