Welcome to the Thinking Fellows podcast. I'm producer Caleb and I'm joined by Dr. Rosenblot, Keith and Francisco.

And today we're doing something a little different. It's not quite a full episode, but it's going to be a special drop.

And today we're reflecting on 9-11 and the problem of Islam. And we happen to have, I would say, the expert in Lutheranism on Islam sitting at the table, Dr. Adam Francisco.

And so we thought who else could be more appropriate to cover this topic today.

All right. Dr. Keith, you wanted to kind of slide things in here.

Yeah, I just want to say, I mean, today is the day when the country, remember, is 9-11.

That's not really, you know, the theme of our show so much, the left-hand kingdom kind of stuff.

But at the same time, we want to acknowledge, you know, how, what a meaningful day this is to a lot of people.

And since we do have Adam at the table with us every week, It seemed kind of appropriate at least to have him,

if even just for the sake of kind of getting out there, what he can, what he does on this topic,

because I've heard him do it, it's pretty amazing. And I talk about a little bit about what he does

when he discusses the problem of Islam, but also sort of reflect on maybe how that ties into remembering 9-11

today.

So Adam, I'm kind of just going to let you loose and see what happens.

Careful there.

I know.

Well, what question should we start with?

The title of your thing is, as I've heard you do, is the problem of Islam.

Maybe we should start with, why is it a problem?

Well, usually it's the challenge of Islam.

Oh, sorry.

It's a problem.
