There are more Muslims now in America than Jews. Yet, many Americans are often confused, afraid and lack a basic understanding of Muslims and the Islamic faith. John Azumah joins Today’s Conversation with Leith Anderson to help us understand the history of Islam and how it impacts our relationships with Muslims today.
In this podcast, you’ll hear from a Christian scholar of Islam on:
- The role of commerce in the spread of Islam;
- How the main segments of Islam (Sunnis and Shiites) developed;
- The historical background of “jihad” and how Muslims understand it; and
- Why Christian and Muslim relations soured.
