Part 3 discusses the issue of adultery in both the Islamic and Christian faiths. We first explore two different stories from the Hadith, where the prophet Muhammad's unquenchable bloodlust is on display. Next, we examine Jesus Christ's contradictory views on adultery -- including the famous story of Jesus and the adulterous woman, found in John 8, which New Testament scholars have found to be a complete fabrication. The episode concludes with an appeal to the faithful to be cognizant of what their religions truly preach, to see that "extremism is pure, uncut religion that has not be diluted with the progressive views of secular logic and reason."
Note: Episode 19 completes the miniseries on "Religion in America" (episodes 17-19). In the next set of videos I will turn my focus to exploring the issues of "Morality" and then "Faith". Each of these topics will have 4-5 episodes.
