As example, revenge and blood vengeance, even on fellow Muslims isagainst the basic teachings of Quran. The root of most conflicts can be found in traditions andbeliefs that have nothing to do with Islam but tied to some tribal practices and beliefs4.Islamic education began with the arrival of Islam. Those with religious knowledge, usually men,have been teaching in the mosques throughout Afghanistan for many centuries. Their level ofknowledge depends on the location and the size of the city or town. A man with a very low levelof traditional and Islamic knowledge can be considered a Mullah in a small village while istreated as an

Science and mathematics were not integrated but, rather have been taught asseparate subjects. Current research suggests that science and mathematics be taughttogether to students prior to college1. An effective strategy for the integration of scienceand mathematics is the incorporation into the instructional strategies of topics thatdirectly apply both disciplines, such as engineering and technology topics.
