Well, the big and obvious one would be the hand over of power in what is now called Israel that happened after ww1 and ww2. And the formation of Israel even though it was Palestine. It's a topic that certainly stirs up controversy and there's many different view points that can be examined and many different theories as to why the Jewish population there which was less than a fifth before the wars, suddenly swelled to be the most dominant religion and culture after the wars. Be careful though, many people simply stating facts have been branded anti-Semite and compared to the Nazis.

Many Muslims hold the Holy Qur’an to be untranslatable from the original Arabic; however, this view has not stopped many from undertaking the effort. We need an understanding of the history of the book and its place in Islam in particular, as well as its influence on the growth of Arab civilization and culture.

The Suez crises comes to mind. Why did Nasser's dream of secular pan-Arab nationalism fail when it got of to such a spectacular start?
