Sheller. Well when we read two gospels, only two of the four gospels even talk about the birth of jesus and when we read matthew and luke, those two gospels, we are certainly presented with different details surrounding the story of the birth but despite the differences there are several things that clearly come through and those are the important aspects of the story. One, that jesus was born in bethlehem. To a virgin named mary. Whose husband, joseph, was of the lineage of david. And this according to the writers of those two gospels was in fulfillment of the hebrew prophesies. So despite very clear and seemingly troubling contradictions in some of the details the more important thing is, i think, the points on which they disagree. On the physical on the physical details was it an inn or was it a twostory house . An inn or a twostory house. Thats an interesting question. There certainly is a theory now that it was a twostory house. That the word that is oftentimes translated inn is a
Host reza aslan, where does the phrase no god but god come from . Guest it is the first half of the muslim profession of faith. There is no god but god and mohammed is gods messenger. It is essentially the phrase that initiates a convert into the muslim faith. Host you also write it not look that now, islam is available to all muslims and every muslim can speak for islam. And so it becomes a great shouting match. Again, i keep paralleling judaism and is on. The problem of course is theres about 15 million after jews. When you look at the conflicts in the middle east commodious muslim democrat and was some autocrats fighting against each other, muslim peacemakers and the Software Makers are doing against each other, what ewers is precisely the result of this reformation process, this individualization of islam, in the process the authority to decide if faith is being removed, seized ashes back from the hand that these institutions that have gripped it from us at the last 14 centuries an

Host you also write it not look that now, islam is available to all muslims and every muslim can speak for islam. It is a religion not to have the intermediary but unlike todays them it has resulted in the creation of a class of scholars the learned once says they are known. For most of the last four centuries. Host how does that involve from mohammad to free them to interpret . That all great religions half profits that was a creator of a religion that is important for people to understand we have a perception of profit is someone who invents a new religion but a profit is someone who reforms the religion in the culture in which he lived they did not create christianitys jesus was said you preaching about it today is some.

Host reza aslan, where does the phrase no god but god come guest ing there is no god but god, and muhammad is gods messenger. Its, essentially, the phrase that initiates a convert into the muslim faith. Convert into the muslim faith. Host you also write it not look that now, islam is available to all muslims and every muslim can speak for islam. Guest of scholars, the learned ones as theyre known who have maintained a monopoly over the meaning and message of islam for most of the last 14 centuries. Host how did that evolve from muhammad into the freedom to interpret . Guest you know, its interesting. This, in many ways, is the same process that all great religions go through.
