Islam in its Own Words

There are currently more than an estimated 1.8 billion Muslims in the world, but Islam is still not well understood in the mainstream. What is the Quran? Who was Mohammed? Is it truly peaceful? What does it say about Jesus, Women, other scriptures and prophets? While there are many questions and opinions about these issues, what better way than to see what their writings have to say for themselves? This channel - Islam in its Own Words (IOW) - brings these issues plainly to the viewer by reading directly from these texts for all to see. Citations and translations are provided so that anyone can look these up for themselves. These are chosen for both readability and accuracy according to the original Arabic. Any text in parenthesis or brackets have been added by scholars or the translators, and in many cases provides a biased or incorrect understanding of the original meaning.
