How Radical Islam Caused 9/11: Returning to the Sources and Bin Laden

25 years ago, America fundamentally changed with the attacks on September 11, 2001. Since then, the world has grappled with the rise of global terrorism, war in the Middle East, and the refugee crisis. But how and why did the 9/11 attacks happen? What led us up to this moment? Chris Stoltzfus brings his years of Middle Eastern experience and Islamic studies to this conversation, explaining the origins of radical Islamic fundamentalism. How does its foundation compare to the foundation of Christianity? How should we engage with, and respond to, radical Islam?
