New Orleans attacker says dreams told him to join Islamic State: Does religion do more harm than good?


Listen Later

Officials are studying the “secret radicalization” of Shamsud-Din Jabbar, the alleged New Orleans attacker. The Telegraph reports that Jabbar was “visited by IS in his dreams.” He apparently made a series of video recordings prior to the attack. In one, he said he had several dreams telling him to join the Islamic State. When I read the Telegraph story on the religious motives behind the New Orleans atrocity, I imagined many people asking, Does religion do more harm than good in the world? It’s a great question. Today, we’ll explore the effects of religion throughout the world and the source of true change in people.
