In this article, she discusses the struggle of growing up as a Muslim in a southern California environment. Commentaries about her lifestyle and the mistreatment of the various Islamic studies professor/speaker are revealed in this article. The source was somewhat biased considering it was an article written by a Muslim woman. However, it was applied resourcefully to the Muslims in America section of my website.

It brings confirmation to my questioning on the Muslim persecution after the infamous incident of 9/11 which sparked a feeling of anti-Islam since then.

"Anti-religious Campaigns." Anti-religious Campaigns. Library of Congress, 22 July 2010. Web. 25 Jan. 2014.

Basically, the crime of the Black Hundreds was discussed in the letter stating they had defied the government decree to remove church valuables. This primary source was extremely beneficial to the religious intolerance that went down in Russia during the reign of the ruthless tyrant, Stalin. The brutal plans that were discussed between these two anti-religious campaign supporters helped me to understand the urgency towards removing all possible churches in Russia. I was also able to understand the communist/atheists perspective towards the religious citizens of Russia at that time.

CBN News. Nigeria: Widows of Martyrs. online video clip. YouTube. YouTube, 26 Sept. 2012. Web. 27 Dec. 2013 On another YouTube domain, I have discovered another clip on Nigeria s widows whose Christian husbands have died from the militant Islamic group, Boko Haram. Interviews with 3 Nigerian women are given along with commentary from the interviewer himself. Each have their experience, watching their husband die first-hand in front of their eyes and all of them testify that although their life has been a struggle, their God has nurtured them and guided them through the pain. This video has allowed me to take on the perspective from a grown womans standpoint. Although their resilience has been more difficult than the children of Nigeria, the source has enabled me to compare the great difference between the two groups of children vs. women. To my research, it has brought reliable background information to store in the notes of my research because of its accuracy with the translation in the interview.

The wife s incidents as well as opinions are stated based on her knowledge of Christian persecution. A great ordeal of information on the Muslims point of view towards Christians was expressed as well as some background information on her experience with a Muslim. This provided a greater expansion of my knowledge on how a Muslim perceives the average Christian visiting their country. Being able to listen from a woman who first handedly experienced the Muslim oppression brought supporting evidence towards my thesis about the unfair treatment towards Christians in the Middle East. Her situations that she was in influenced my emotions to where I could picture the heavy oppression she was faced with upon her secret distribution of bibles and sermons.

"Code of Canon Law." Code of Canon Law - IntraText. Libreria Editrice Vaticana, n.d. Web. 24 Jan. 2014.

A narrator travels out to those countries interviewing various women and children in the public markets of Mosul. He then travels to Amman and retrieves an interview with an Iraqi Christian named Dial. She explains the dangers her family has experienced due to the religious virtue she acquires. The source was slightly biased due to the fact that it is a Christian organization interviewing this group of people, yet the interviews of these people provide true evidence to the existing religious intolerance in Iraq. To help my research, the video provided a good standpoint on the Christian views of their religious intolerance which helps to balance out the religious intolerance of my project.

"Jewish Virtual Library." Home | Jewish Virtual Library. American-Israeli Cooperative Enterprise, n.d. Web. 15 Feb. 2014.

The documentary on YouTube told her story of her dying mother and the suicidal tendencies she expressed due to her Muslim faith. Many quotes were taken down concerning her hatred towards Christians. However, her miracle of her mom was told as well as her coming to Christ. The source was somewhat biased because of the fact it is a Christian organization which runs the video. It was included in the Christians in the Middle East section of my website. The simple faith from a stubborn-hearted woman provides the sense of reasoning towards the tolerance of accepting Christian faith in Muslim societies. Because of her experience and miracle of coming to Jesus, my thesis is greatly supported as to why Christians should not be persecuted for their religion. My research has served me well in the sense where this factual story can have a foothold towards my reasoning.

Upon reading Perpetuas prison diary, I have come to connect the past with the present situations on other victims of persecution. The unbiased trial this woman was put through brings an argument that can well be talked among considering the unfair treatment. Her stronghold of Christian faith provides a background to the faith of all Christian martyrs around the world, past and present.

Naomi Nakanishi 12/2/13 Period 2 NHD World History Project

This source is the article Richard Wagner had wrote in 1850, to describe his distaste towards the Jews during the reign of Hitler. Richard Wagner, a musician during that era, explicitly describes the reasoning towards the hatred of the Jews, and briefly discusses the interference and intolerance of any Jewish influence in his music. As a musician, this has helped me with my topic because from that standpoint, I was able to recognize the aspects of the musicianship Richard shared towards the Jews. The persecution of the Jews is clearly displayed from this text only because of the disgust Richard expressed towards the Jews in general. It has brought a different perspective to my thesis in that religious intolerance is not only expressed in the generic human, but in a musician and their musical sense.

Unger, Michal. "On the Persecution of the Jews of Lodz." The Last Ghetto: Life in the Lodz Ghetto. N.p.: Yad Vashem, n.d. 40. Yad Vashem.

The image of corpses on the streets, and Jews bitten to a pulp are explicitly explained from Yardens entry. In Moshes entry, he emphasizes and expresses the pain he feels for the spiritual loss of his brothers due to the persecution of the Christian-Jews. Because this source included two letters for me to analyze and observe based on the Holocaust era, it helped me immensely to get a closer insight on the daily life of the average Jew. The violence and anti-religious feelings that were expressed in the diary entries brings to my research, a new understanding towards the anti-Jew campaign in Germany. To my thesis it brings a support to the differentiating side of the Jews during the Holocaust.

30 Jan. 2014. This source includes three photographs taken in the state of Warsaw, Poland during the Germanic invasions of that time period. It includes images of the German military assault, the starving Jewish children, and the German siege of Warsaw at that time. A brief article on the background information for these photos is included on the website. The primary photographical sources help me with my topic because it s a different approach to the analysis of the anti-Semitism area of the Jews by the Germans. Proof of religious intolerance is displayed by these photos and the emotional aspect of the photographs can be utilized to support my thesis of the severity of religious intolerance.

Also, the CCP (Chinese communist party) and their notorious outlaws of religions and intrusions of house churches are described in this source as well. To approach religious intolerance in a country other than America or the Middle East truly brings variety to my research/project. Different perspectives towards the religious intolerance in China serve to solidify the statement that not all religious intolerance mainly occurs in the Middle East or China. In current forms of religious intolerance, China serves as a

perfect example mainly due to the fact of its CCP which is a large organization and influence to the Chinese community.
