I want to learn...

There are many things I want to learn about Islam, including their religion, customs/culture, laws if they had any, government, and everyday life. I heard that Islam is a growing religion, and I want to learn how it spread and what beliefs they believed in. I want to learn about their culture, what kind of food they ate (if it was yummy or disgusting), and what customs they had. I would like to learn about their government, laws, and how they controlled Islam, so I can see if it's similar to the US today and compare it with other places we have already learned about. Learning about their everyday life, such as what they did everyday (did they work?), what they cooked, what they did at their homes, and how families were organized would be very interesting. Can't wait to start the new chapter(kinda) ! :D
