Judaism, Jihad, Quran—Can Islam Be Reformed? Jewish Journalist vs British Imam Sheikh Paul Armstrong

Sheikh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong in conversation with Jonathan Sacerdoti – a searching, honest, and at times tense exploration of Islam, extremism, reform, and coexistence. From the trauma of 9/11 to questions about child marriage, apostasy, and Israel, this dialogue confronts difficult truths and conflicting worldviews. Armstrong, a reformist British imam, defends his spiritual understanding of Islam while Sacerdoti challenges him with frank concerns as a British Jew raised in the shadow of terrorism. Their exchange offers rare insight into both common ground and irreconcilable tensions.We discuss:* The misuse of Islam by extremists* Whether Muhammad was perfect* If Islam needs reform or reinterpretation* Islamic preaching in Britain* Israel, the Palestinians, and the Abraham Accords* Leaving Islam, child marriage, homosexuality* The future of British Islam
