You were raised in Egypt, you're raised by a devout Muslim father.

You know the Quran. You can read it in Arabic.

Are you Muslim or are you a Westerner? Everyone, exactly like me, who lived in both, had an identity crisis. How does the modern Muslim take that piece of history about Muhammad? That's a great question. I thought God was almost like a monster. I believed he was Allah and I believed in Islam. I just came to the conclusion that God is evil and I have to worship him. But I realized God was trying to reach me through that dream. It really was. And he answered

me directly. And I whispered to myself, Jesus, if you're real, tell me right now. As soon as I said

that. Is Islam truly a religion of peace? What did Muhammad actually teach and what does it look like to live out his teachings in the West? And what was it like for a devout Muslim to go to a Christian church for the first time? Welcome back to the Lila Ro Show. Today I'm sitting down with Ishmael Yousef, who was raised as a Muslim in Egypt, but whose trips to Canada opened his eyes to a new

reality. In this episode, we explore the history of Islam. We explore the differences between Islam

and Christianity, and we explore the different expressions of Islamic faith. Ishmael also shares

his perspective on the tension between Islamic and Western values, and he shares his warning

for the West. Thank you so much to everyone who has been subscribing to and listening to the show. The show continues to grow thanks to all of you. We just blew past 400,000 subs on YouTube.

Yes, I think so too. That's what we tell people. Hey, do you want to come to Southern California? That's like I'm not going to say no anymore. That's that's the trick, right? Northern California. I'm originally from Northern California and there are parts I think of Northern California that are even more beautiful. But is it a sunny though? That's the question.

You know, it can be really sunny up there.

Okay.

It can.

Yeah, it depends on where.

But if you go to like Marin Valley or Mill Valley and Marin area, it's really beautiful, like

north of San Francisco.

Okay, nice.

So that's, you need to go there next.

I don't know what podcasting.

Whoever's up there, y'all can. I was going to say, I don't know who that's doing up there.
