Interfaith Voices Podcast (hour-long version)
Summary: Interfaith Voices is the nation’s leading religion news magazine on public radio. We offer weekly analyses of the big headlines alongside lesser-told stories – those of African-American Mormons and atheists in the military, evangelical environmentalists and Muslim feminists. Through these stories, a rough sketch of our country’s religious landscape begins to emerge. It’s a marketplace of beliefs and ideas too complex for sound bites, and too important to ignore. That’s why Interfaith Voices matters.

The concept of sharia has been around as long as Islam has. So how has it become such a scary word for some Americans in recent years?
For all talk about sharia and the fear associated with it, few people - both who identify as Muslim and do not - seem to know what it really is.
When states support problematic interpretations of Islam - and when leaders purposefully conflate Islamic law as being the word of God - it leads to a broader misunderstanding of what sharia is at its core.
How did the concept of sharia law as a threat to the U.S. become the behemoth of misunderstanding and political wedge tool it is today?
