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 “Peace” 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? See this comparison between Sharia law and the U.S. Constitution from a recent email edition of AmericanMinute. Sign up for Bill’s email at AmericanMinute.com.
