Explores ethical conflicts inspired by a volatile mixture of religion and politics in Middle Eastern societies. Examples of this conflict are offered from two different countries - Israel, with its mix of Jews, Christians, and Muslims, and Egypt, where Christian believers clash with Muslim believers. Students also learn how ideas taken for granted in the U.S. - such as freedom of religion, property rights, and sovereignty - tend to fuel ethical conflicts in the Middle East.
