With the rise of radical Islamic terrorism, everyone’s talking about Islam. Among Catholics exists a wide variety of opinion regarding Islam: from complete acceptance and tolerance to declaring it diabolical. How should a Catholic view Islam and interact with Muslims? This is such a broad topic that I’m taking two episodes to discuss it. Part 1 will mostly focus on discussing the sources of Islamic belief and the differences between Muhammad and Jesus.
Resources:
- Should Catholics Fear Islam? (An article I discuss in the podcast)
- The Life of Muhammad (The definitive book on the founder of Islam – written just 100 years after his life)
- Good Muslim/Bad Muslim (A great debate between two Catholics on the nature of what it means to be Muslim)
