58: What’s the Story with Islam, Dr. Umar?

In this week’s episode of Basically, Stefanie sits down with Dr. Umar Al Qadri the chairman of The Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council. To kick off her series taking a look at World Religions Stefanie asks Dr. Umar all about what it is like to be a Muslim in Ireland, the similarities and differences between Islam and Christianity, and why the modern western perception of Islam painted by extremists is wrong. Dr. Umar also talks about his own Muslim upbringing, major Islamic religious celebrations, and an app that helps you pray! You can find out more about The Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council by following them @IMPIC_ie on Twitter, @IrishMuslimCouncil on Facebook, and at https://impic.ie/
