Juan Cole is interviewed below by Professor Adnan Husain, Queens University (co-editor of A Faithful Sea: The Religious Cultures of the Mediterranean, 1200-1700) on themes of peace and warmth toward Christians in the Qur’an. The event was sponsored by the Muslim Societies Global Perspectives initiative at Queens University.

My remarks are drawn in large part from my own book,


    Muhammad: Prophet of Peace amid the Clash of Empires

    Available at Hachette

    and Barnes and Noble

    And Nicola’s Books in Ann Arbor

    And Amazon

    “In the midst of the dramatic seventh-century war between two empires, Muhammad was a spiritual seeker in search of community and sanctuary.
    Many observers stereotype Islam and its scripture as inherently extreme or violent-a narrative that has overshadowed the truth of its roots. In this masterfully told account, Dr. Cole takes us back to Islam’s — and the Prophet Muhammad’s-origin story.

    You can purchase Dr. Cole’s book “Muhammad: Prophet of Peace Amid the clash of Empires” with our friends from Novel Idea Bookstore.”
