Episode Details

A third victim has now died from last Sunday’s mass shooting in Austin, Texas. The FBI believe the attack may be related to terrorism. A very troubling aspect of this story is its possible connection to hardline Muslim clerics in the US who have been claiming that war between the US and Iran is part of a prophetic destiny tied to the return of the Mahdi, their messiah. One of them closed his Friday prayer before war broke out: “May Allah destroy all the nonbelievers.” All of this taken together could cause Americans to fear all Muslims in our midst and to hate radical Islamists who seem to hate us, but this visceral reaction is not the way God wants believers to respond. The opposite is actually the case.
