A truly fascinating and informative look at Islam and its influence on the Western world and the Muslims who seek to inform the general public and increase understanding of the religion and the culture. Host Dr. Liepert welcomes honest, open conversations with all of his guests. His optimism (no pun intended) and his understanding of not just the faith, but his desire to make the world a better place makes this podcast more like a friendly, intelligent discourse instead of merely the lecture it very well could have been. Liepert not only educates his non-Muslim listeners, but gives hope to the millions of Western Muslims whose faith and culture are widely misunderstood to be an oppressive one that supports terrorism. We need more podcasts like this! Thank you, Dr. Liepert, for a wonderful podcast.
