In this entry I have a video of a debate Peter Kreeft had on the subject of Islam. He tells a story at 35:09<\/a>\u00a0that I think is particularly relevant to the current controversy.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I have devoted quite a lot of time to studying Islam and probably read in total\u00a0about a third of the Qur’an.\u00a0Despite the fact that Islam is a major world religion, I often find awareness of basic Muslim beliefs rather lacking among Christians. A\u00a0little while ago I produced a series of posts about Islam<\/a> in an attempt to provide a basic introduction to the religion.<\/p>\n

I often have rather animated conversations with another member of the Catholic community here in San Diego on the subject of Islam. A lot of these conversations revolve around how Islam should be viewed by Catholics.
