Welcome back as we rejoin guest James Rayment to further the discussion on Islam. In this episode, we learn the history of Islam after Muhammad's death and the origins of the Quran. We discuss the succession of Islamic leaders throughout time and compare interesting similarities of Islamic history with Mormonism.

We discuss the rise and fall of the “Islamic Golden Age” and how Islam affected the world in philosophy, coffee, and more. We end with understanding the Muslim view of the Crusades and their wars with the world's greatest empires.

In this episode we begin with the basic history of Muhammad and his initial encounter with revelation and how this movement spread across Arabia. We also discuss how Muhammad pulled a political influence in his time and how this political influence affects the modern Arab world and beyond today.
