About this episode

The episode explores the complexities of understanding Islam and its diverse interpretations, particularly in the context of political figures like Recep Erdogan.

The Prism of America’s Education with Host Karen Schoen – Understanding Islam does not necessarily lead to an understanding of all Muslims. The Turkish Prime Minister, Recep Erdogan, who, unlike the leaders of most Muslim-controlled countries, wears a coat and tie. He says it best, "The term moderate Islam is ugly and defensive. There is no moderate Islam. Islam is Islam!"
