Is Islam a “religion of peace”? On this episode of The Rational Animals Podcast, we are joined by former Muslim Ilan Newaz to discuss whether or not Islam is a religion of peace, as the religion’s defenders and apologists often claim. Islam is virtually absent from American culture, and as a result, Americans are generally unfamiliar with the Quran, Mohammad, and the history of the religion. Ilan grew up in a Muslim household going to mosque every week, has read and studied the Quran in Arabic, and has become a harsh critic of Islam since leaving the religion years ago.
