Thank you so much for doing this Lex! I've been waiting and hoping that you'd bring on a Muslim scholar ever since you did your podcast with Bishop Barron. I'm not religious myself but have been getting increasingly spiritual over the past year or so and been reading a lot of the famous works in both the Christian and the Islamic tradition, and what I've come to realize is that Islam is incredibly misrepresented and misunderstood in the Western world. Pretty much all notions I had of this religion (that I've gained from both school and media) turned out to be completely wrong, so I think it's really important that people with a huge platform like you take the time and make the effort to invite someone like Omar Suleiman to speak to you about Islam in order to clear up misconceptions. Dialogue facilitates understanding, and this is what we need more of in this world today ♥,(reply>), @thijsvox I mean, technically he is, but idk the title of a "scholar" is more than just a degree in my opinion, but that's literally just my opinion to be honest so I'm going to delete my previous comment xd. I shouldn't spread my own opinion like it is a fact. May Allah forgive me,(reply>), @Nasr Oh okay, what is the definition of an Islamic scholar? I figured the guy has a bachelor's degree in Islamic law, a master's degree in Islamic finance and a PhD in Islamic thought and civilization (from the International Islamic University in Malaysia) while also being a resident scholar at an islamic center would qualify him for that title but I assume I'm wrong then. Do you have to be clasically trained in some type of accredited Islamic educational system to be recognized as an Islamic scholar?
