A bill is a draft of a law that has been presented to the legislative body for consideration. It can be either public (affecting the nation as a whole) or private (affecting only certain places or people). House leaders have to follow 2 steps when scheduling debates on bills:
1. They need to schedule debates on a bill into one of the 5 calendars before going to the legislative body for consideration.
- Calendar of the Committee of the Whole House (on the Union State).
- House Calendar.
- Calendar of the Committee of the Whole House.
- Consent Calendar.
- Discharge Calendar.
2. The Rules Committee have to approve the first step and schedule a time for its appearance on the floor.
Answer:
Islam had an extremely important political impact in the Middle East, and also in other areas in Central Asia, India, Pakistan, and some countries in southeast asia like Indonesia.
Explanation:
The reason is that Islam not only became the majority religion in these areas, but also became a political force in its own right.
This is because Islam worked as a force to motivate political change, and also because Islam became political: law became islamic, in the form of sharia law, and the boundaries between religion and state were blurred, so much that some countries of these areas are theocracies (ruled by a religious leader), for example, the Islamic Republic of Iran.

I have this excerpt here about Norman Cantor's view on manorialism. I hope this has come to your help.
". . Of necessity, the manor was a self-sufficient economic unit in view of the overwhelming difficulties of transportation in the period. International trade was carried on only to serve the demands of the wealthy, and it was largely in the hands of aliens [different peoples]-Greeks, Jews, Moslems. Local society made almost no use of money. To the extent that local exchange was carried on, it was conducted by barter. The small amount of international trade precluded [ruled out] the need for gold coinage. The Carolingians minted only silver coins, which were all that was usually necessary when the smallest silver coin could buy a cow. When gold coins were needed, Byzantine and Moslem currency was used. . . ."
