there are a multitude of unlikely preconditions, some of which seem to be, well, this is something else that we can talk about, some of which seem to be Judeo-Christian in their essence. It's like 47 of 50 Muslim majority countries are not democracies. And 100% of Catholic and Protestant majority countries outside of Africa are functional democracies.

So this is something we can also delve into when we talk about the commonalities between Christianity, Judaism and Islam, because we also have to account for the radical differences in governance style. Okay, so you weren't a fan of the neocons, even though you'd started out as more of a hawk and more of an evangelical hawk, you had an epiphany.

And the epiphany, I'd like to go into that a little bit more. Some of that was conceptual. Maybe the Muslims, Christians and Jews have more in common than we might think. But some of it was your dawning intuition that there was a conflict between the deep realities of your faith and your political approach and strategy.

So how did that, yeah, how do you make sense of that realization coming to dawn on you?

It was sparked, Jordan, by a friend from India. He said, Mark, you talk negative against Muslims and the Quran, but did you know that Jesus is in the Quran? I jumped out of my chair and said, I don't believe. And this is during the epiphany. I'm still developing. It's like one is an infant.

You're born into a new thinking, but it takes time to mature and hopefully someday become an adult in the context of the epiphany. And I was very angry. I said, I don't believe this. So I bought a Quran in English, of course, and started reading it in English. And it was extraordinary how many times it mentioned Jesus. He's the central figure, strangely enough. It was just a profound discovery.

And my wife, I'd scream back to her, Nancy, do you know what the Quran says about Jesus? Yes. She says, I don't really want to know. Yeah, right. Let me tell you. And then she got quite infatuated with the whole process as well. So after studying it, I called a spiritual friend of mine who is my pastor from Michigan who spoke Aramaic.

And this is the key linchpin now with the epiphany, by the way. He was teaching me Aramaic.
