The Logic of Islam with Dr. Carl Goldberg

The Koran is the basis of Islam, and in order to understand Islam, we need to know two things:

1) We need to know that religious Moslems all believe that the Koran is the literal word of Allah -- perfect, complete, unchangeable and valid for all of eternity;

2) We need to know what the Koran says.

Today, we will examine the role that the Koran plays in the life of a religious Moslem, and we will look at a number of verses in the Koran which deal with Islamic supremacism, attitude toward non-Moslems, making war on non-Moslems, the notion of retaliation, women, Christians and Jews.

If you do not have a Koran, I urge you to get one and read it. It would be helpful if you had a translation of the Koran with you when you listen to this show so that you can compare the translation you hear on the show with the translation you have in front of you.

The most authoritative way you can spread the truth about Islam is to quote the Koran. We will also deal with the question of the reliability of translations and the notion that the verses of the Koran must be viewed "in context" or as referring only to events in the seventh Century with no validity for our time.
