The Exploitation of Faith - Part III with Guest Dr. Julian Dunraven

About this episode

Fr. André Mahanna is joined once again by constitutional lawyer Dr. Julian Dunraven for the continuation of this Irrevocable Investigation into one of the most consequential questions facing Europe and America. We move beyond demographics and ask what happens when religion, migration, foreign funding, political influence and competing concepts of law and government intersect. Who finances Islamic institutions and influence in the West? What role do foreign governments and international networks play in universities and public institutions? What is "Sharia", and where is the line between protected personal religious practice and a political legal order that could conflict with constitutional government? Are Christians receiving the same protection, freedom of speech and religious liberty that Western societies rightly extend to others? And can America and Europe preserve genuine religious freedom if they abandon the Christian foundations that helped make that freedom possible? This is not an investigation against Muslims as human persons. It is an examination of political Islam, ideological influence, constitutional integration, religious freedom and the exploitation of faith for political power. Faith cannot fear truth. Truth cannot require coercion.
