Inside Islam
Part 1
What's at the root of so many wars, conflicts and acts of terrorism that we see in the headlines? Most can be traced to Islamic fundamentalism. To understand so much of what is taking place in the world, we need to understand the religious beliefs that are motivating those actions. This sermon traces the background of Muhammad, Islam's founder, and the Koran, Islam's holy book. Muslims claim that Muhammad is the last and greatest divine prophet and that the Koran is the inspired revelation of Allah, superseding the Old and New Testaments. What is the truth about such claims?
