411 | John of Damascus and the Heresy of the Ishmaelites

Al Fadi and Dr Jay Smith discuss the book written by Daniel
Janosik, John of Damascus; The First Apologists to the
Muslims.  John of Damascus is a Christian monk and apologist
whose father served in the Umayyad Caliphate  in
Damascus.  John does not use the word Islam, but instead he
calls it the heresy of the Ishmaelites. Al and Jay also talk
about Emperor Leo the third correspondent letters with Omar the
Second.  Both John and Leo indicate that the Quran we have
today is different than the Quran in the 7th and 8th centuries.
