A Reformation for Islam? with Dr. Zuhdi ...

Charlie Kirk
About this episode

From Gaza to Iran to the West, fundamentalist Islam has repeatedly become a violent obstacle to stability, peace, and prosperity. But is Islam unfixable, or can it be reformed? Arizona House candidate and Muslim Zuhdi Jasser makes the case for a new reformed Islam that rejects medieval fundamentalism and embraces modernity, pluralism, and the “separation of mosque and state.”
