One-fifth of the world?s people practice Islam. But many westerners don?t understand its basic principles which Muslims say have been distorted by those who commit terrorism. We?ll talk about Islam, the Koran, and so-called "holy wars". Laura's guest is Qamar-ul Huda, professor of Islamic studies and comparative theology at Boston College www.bc.edu, and Charles Kennedy, retired professor of religion, Virginia Tech.
