Season 2 - Episode 9 - No True Scotsman - In this episode of Re-Sight Islam, Qasim and Salaam jump right into why ISIS and other extremists really need to crawl back under the rocks from which they came. They set the record straight on the differences between the acts of individual Muslims and what Islam teaches.

As they pull back the veil of misunderstanding, the team sets the foundational rules necessary for legitimate scholarly interpretation of the Q'uran and the teachings of the Prophet Muhammad. As they dive deeper into the discussion you will also learn about the heirarchy of interpretaion - and who you should believe.

What is the "No True Scotsman" falacy? What should one do if a Hadith runs counter to a Sunnah? Who was Ibn Ishak and why is he cited as a credible (or not so credible) source on Islam? What do a radioactive turtle, chocolate chip cookies, unvaccinated kids and Mark Twain quotes have to do with understanding the Q'uran? And, does Lisa really like Nelson?... The answer to these questions, and more, lie within this week's melodic dialogue.
