Key Issue 2 – Why do religions have distinctive distributions?

1. The government of Saudi Arabia prefers to spell some place names differently than is common in English (such as Makkah instead of Mecca). Given your knowledge of the principal language used in predominantly Muslim countries including Saudi Arabia, what might account for this preference?

2. Rank the origins of these three large universalizing religions from earliest to most recent (pg. 199 in textbook).

3. Does the diffusion of Islam prove a good example of hierarchical diffusion, relocation diffusion, or both?

4. Based on religious preferences, which two provinces of Canada appear to have the largest migrants from Quebec?

5. What country had the largest Jewish population in 1910?
