A TIME TO SPEAK with Brian Powell

#18: Islam, Allah, & Muhammad (Part 3)

Brian Powell Episode 18

One of the most controversial claims today is that Islam is a religion of tolerance. From both a theological and historical standpoint, that claim is difficult to defend. No Islamic nation currently practices full religious freedom, and throughout history Christian communities have faced persecution under Islamic rule. Scholars widely acknowledge that Islam expanded through conquest, and the Qur’an itself includes passages calling for violence against unbelievers. Today, Dr. Doug Hopkins joins the show to continue this important conversation.
