Islam in Modern Politics ft. Charles Adams | Ep. 11

As the fastest growing and second largest religion in the world, Islam is a religious force that has had a significant impact throughout the world. It has been used to create theocracies in the Middle East, has changed the cultural landscape of many Western nations, and is controversial altogether within the Western World. Charlie Adams joins us to discuss Islam as it relates to modern politics, and we discuss pressing manners such as Muslim refugees, radical Islam, political correctness, and Western intervention.
