Tom Holland is a historian and author of the bestselling book, In the Shadow of the Sword, which charts the origins and early history of Islam based on recent scholarship. His documentary, Islam: The Untold Story, was both eye-opening and controversial, making Holland the target of numerous death threats. Another documentary, ISIS: The Origins of Violence, was acclaimed for exploring daring questions about the roots of ISIS's ideology of violence in Islamic scriptures. We talk about the latest on the historical records that give us clues to how Islam arose, in a riveting and eye-opening conversation. Check it out.
