The War on Terror has been viewed by many as a "Crusade," to use a term George Bush did early on. This phrase has a very specific historical meaning that perhaps he did not appreciate. The Crusades were a series of bloody religious wars that in the end did not settle the question of whether Christianity or Islam would dominate in the world, which was the original goal.

Are we fighting a Holy War? Many people in the West think so, but few have taken the time to study the religion in any depth. Like Christians, Muslims hold a wide variety of views on fundamental questions addressed in their holy literature. If we do not want to see our children live through a generation of endless and ultimately pointless war, it behooves us to learn to understand one another.

Paul Armstrong is a Muslim convert in London who is very actively pursuing interfaith understanding and peace efforts. Co-Director of the Association of British Muslims and Director of Kilafah Online, he is a scholar of Christianity as well as Islam, so provides a unique insight into the relations between the two. 

This show was rebroadcast on August 3 at 9 AM PST/ 12 PM EST on the Star Com Radio network.
