2 - The First Muslim Community

The Islamic calendar begins when the first Muslim community is established in Medina.  From that day forward, Islam will be not only a religion, but an independent state, with its own military and political leadership.  That state will grow to rule much of the world and at its core will be this idea of a united political, military, cultural and religious community.  This would shape a dramatically different world view than that of Christianity.  In this episode, we explore the emergence and development of that state.
