Islam '4' Infidels: A Crash Course on the Koran


We hear about Islam and the Koran all the time, but what are the roots and history of Islam so we can get more familiar and better understand where Jihadist ideology comes from.  Can all Muslims be lumped into the same category or are there secular Muslims?  And if there are secular Muslims, how do they jive with the extremist Islamic world?  Take advantage of this crash course:  Islam 101

Prof. Mordechai Kedar presents us with a 3 part mini-series on Islam.  Each week we will explore a different aspect pertaining to 'The Religion or Peace' (sic).

1) Islam 4 Infidels - a crash course on Islam

2) Islamic aims & claims on Jerusalem

3) The future of Islam, and its role in the great war of Armageddon

Join Tamar and Dr. Kedar weekly for the next three weeks as they discuss these three topics pertaining to Islam.  Ask your questions, make your comments.

Dr. Mordechai Kedar served for 25 years in IDF Military Intelligence specializing in Arab political discourse, Arab mass media, Islamic groups and the Syrian domestic arena. He is a lecturer in Arabic studies at Bar-Ilan University. He is also an expert on Israeli Arabs.

"We were here when your forefathers were drinking wine, burying their daughters alive and worshipping idols" -- this was just one of Bar Ilan University political scientist Dr. Mordechai Kedar's ripostes to questions by an Al Jazeera interviewer two weeks ago, in an interview that has received rave reviews from Israel-lovers the world over for its forcefulness. "They did not expect me to take the discussion to history and especially not to religion," Kedar told Israel National News. But discuss religion he did in the above video, reminding his interviewer that Jerusalem was not mentioned even once in the Koran and saying directly in fluent Arabic that "Jerusalem is not on the negotiating table," and that "Jerusalem belongs to the Jews, period."

"This was very aggravating" for the Al-Jazeera interviewer, Kedar explained, "because in the Islamic view, Islam came into the world to replace Judaism and Christianity, not to live side by side with them. And here, all of a sudden, the Jews are coming from exile and building their state again and G-d forbid they also regained Jerusalem." Judaism is thus regaining its meaning, and Islam is challenged by this, the Bar-Ilan professor explained. "The mere existence of the State of Israel and the fact that we are in Jerusalem is some kind of challenge to the legitimacy of Islam in their eyes," Kedar explained.

"This is not pro-Israel public relations," Dr. Kedar told Israel National News. "This is a battle for the Arab heart, which Israel is apparently losing because Israel gave up on the main tool which should have served it, which is an independent Israeli Zionist satellite channel in Arabic." Many Arabs, he said, would consider changing their views if such a channel were available.
