Description

Sheikh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong in conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti – a searching, honest, and at times tense exploration of Islam, extremism, reform, and coexistence. From the trauma of 9/11 to questions about child marriage, apostasy, and Israel, this dialogue confronts difficult truths and conflicting worldviews. Armstrong, a reformist British imam, defends his spiritual understanding of Islam while Sacerdoti challenges him with frank concerns as a British Jew raised in the shadow of terrorism. Their exchange offers rare insight into both common ground and irreconcilable tensions.


We discuss:


* The misuse of Islam by extremists

* Whether Muhammad was perfect

* If Islam needs reform or reinterpretation

* Islamic preaching in Britain

* Israel, the Palestinians, and the Abraham Accords

* Leaving Islam, child marriage, homosexuality

* The future of British Islam
