Well, I learnt something early on in the programme - the Arabian horse typically have one less vertebrae than a traditional horse. Interesting tit bit of info - just an aside of course.

But interesting discussion between two Americans - and good explanations of what it means to be a Muslim. The Christian credentials of the Dr are impressive indeed. Watched the first few mins - will watch fully later.

The description of what attracted him to Islam is one I've heard many times before - it wasn't prosletysing but rather the examples of how the Muslims he was interacting with were living their lives. It took him over a year to then ask and investigate in detail the theology (having studied Islam superficially as part of his theology training).

I hope we don't get any trolling posts that don't address the subject matter.

As it says on the Royal Coat of Arms of my country : Honi soit qui mal y pense.

You can look up the meaning. ;)
