A Short History of Islam

Frank brings Bill Federer back to take us on a fascinating historical ride from the founding of Islam right up to the present day. Along the way Frank and Bill (mostly Bill!) provide insights into questions like:

  • Why don’t our leaders understand the beliefs of groups such as the Taliban?
  • How did Islam begin?
  • Who was Muhammad and what did he do?
  • How did Muslims conquer much of the Mediterranean in the first 100 years?
  • What are the differences between Sunni and Shiite?
  • What does ā€œPeaceā€ mean to the Taliban?
  • How did the discovery of oil reinvigorate jihad and groups like the Taliban?
  • Why would a four-star USAF General compare Trump supporters to the Taliban?
  • Don’t all religions kill? How do Islam and Christianity compare?
