this talk the speaker engages the audience in a discussion of
traditional as well as contemporary Christian understandings
of Islam and vice-versa. A highly detailed and scholarly look

its kind. He concludes this talk by revealing his own observant
views of Muslim-Christian relations and the need to move forward
in mutual tolerance and respect. (Recorded at the Dar
al Islam Teachers' Institute seminar).

stone, St. Thomas Aquinas' harsh views of Islam, Ivan The Terrible,

God, God as love, and the hajj.
