At some point during their lifetimes, if possible, all Muslims are expected to make a pilgrimage to __________.
Mecca
Medina
Baghdad
Cairo
Jerusalem
These are all large cities in the Middle East that have close ties to Islam, and, in the case of Jerusalem and Cairo, to other religions as well. Mecca, however, is considered the birthplace of the Islamic faith. It is found in modern-day Saudi Arabia. It is where the Prophet Muhammad was born. As part of the five pillars of Islam all Muslims are expected to make a pilgrimage to Mecca at one point in their lifetime (assuming they are physically and financially able to do so).
What is the dominant religion of North Africa?
Islam
Sikhism
Christianity
Hinduism
Buddhism
Islam is the dominant religion of North Africa, as it is for the Middle East and a portion of Central Asia. Interestingly the Sahara Desert acts as a sort of boundary between Islam-dominated North Africa and Christianity-dominated Sub-Saharan Africa. This is caused by the different historical, particularly colonial, experiences of these two parts of Africa.

The key religious divide between Scotland and England historically was __________.
that Scotland was largely Presbyterian, while England was largely Anglican
that Scotland was entirely Catholic, while England was entirely Anglican
that Scotland was largely Lutheran, while England was largely Presbyterian
that Scotland was mostly Presbyterian, while England was mostly Scottish
that Scotland was largely irreligious, while England was largely Catholic
During the sixteenth century, both England and Scotland fell under the sway of the Protestant Reformation, although in two entirely different forms. England had many ups and downs, resulting in the distinct form of Protestantism known as Anglicanism, while Scotland developed the Calvinist-based Presbyterianism. Both countries would have pockets of Catholics for centuries, and both nations have seen a rising tide of secularism and reduced religious participation since the twentieth century.
