About this episode
This episode analyzes the religion of Islam, discussing its history, teachings, and the common misconceptions held by non-Muslims.
Having discussed the history of Islam in the previous episode, the Comparing World Religions lecture series now turns to an analysis of the religion of Islam itself. The second largest world religion, and one of the most influential religions in human history, Islam is often misunderstood by the average American who does not understand what the religion teaches. The only interactions that many non-Muslims have with Islam is the news. Islam is an incredibly diverse religion, with distinct characteristics that differentiate it from all other religions.
