A new wave of influencers like Andrew Tate are flocking toward Islam, dragging crowds with them. But do they know what they’re signing up for? As you’ll find out in this episode, the answer is no —they do NOT.

Larry Alex Taunton interviews Christian evangelist and full-time missionary Dr. Jay Smith. Jay primarily focuses on the historical study of the Christian and Islamic religions. Jay spends much of his time debating Muslims publicly with the goal of converting them to the Christian faith through fact-based arguments. Some topics discussed in this mind-blowing interview are Jesus vs. Mohammed, Jerusalem vs. Mecca, and the Bible vs. the Quran. What evidence do we have to believe in either one historically? What firsthand, secondhand, and thirdhand accounts contribute to the establishment of both of these faiths? Larry and Jay also discuss how a modernized version of Islam is sweeping the West. Jay explains that this is not an orthodox representation of the religion and that many young people have no idea what the Quran says or what Islam really means.
