Muslims are often blamed and judged as soon as an act of violence is committed by one of their own. However, Islam combines both intellectual and spiritual experiences, making it a fulfilling source of meditation and connection with God.
The guests on the podcast discuss how many individuals, including themselves, have sought the meditative practices found in Eastern philosophies before turning to Islam, which combines a belief in one God with a deep tradition of meditative practices and connection to God on a regular basis.
Muslims seem to be the only group blamed as a whole for acts of violence committed by individuals within their religion, while acts of violence by other groups are not attributed to their entire religion or ethnicity.
