Now, say we're sitting together, right? And we're talking to Omar Bashir in the midst of this horrific, unimaginable genocide with atrocities beyond human understanding. And we don't mention anything about the Janjaweed, the murders, the rapes, nothing. We talk about, ask him about his family, his children, his wives, plural. And we get to sharing the discoveries. Now, here it comes.
Discoveries of the common ground. Ardiya mushtaraka, the Arabic. I tell them, Your Excellency, we have new common ground we haven't known before. between the Quran and the Bible. He said, well, I thought you, I looked you up, you're an evangelical, former, you know, Congressman, and you're not very, you're not very appreciative of Islam.
I said, well, you know, that was then, this is now, I've read your Quran, and rather than saying, as so many Christians will do, it's of the devil and condemn the prophet and such, rather than approaching it, they love, that's disdain again. that is using shame again or using a negative hateful approach rather than we look for, one of the loves too in Aramaic is look for the best,
inside of a person or a situation. Right, right, right. That's what you want.
What can we find? Well, that's a good definition of love, I always thought, is the best in me serving the best in you.
That is in the Aramaic, but you wouldn't see it in the Greek, unfortunately.
That's in the Aramaic.
Absolutely. It's one of the key...
To do is look for the best. That's a great definition of parenting. Well, that's what you hope is a father that's the best in you, that's serving the best in your child. Definitely. And that's what you want in a marriage. And first of all, they're shocked.
You study the Quran? Right, right. You study this? I've been studying it for years, Your Excellency. Well, what do you think of it? I think it's marvelous. Yes. I have disagreements, but I found things that I appreciated. And so what is the transition? Your Excellency, especially as it pertains to Jesus.
Yeah.
Oh, we love Jesus. You can't be a Muslim without loving him. Right, which is a very strange thing to realize. And that was in your interview with Muhammad. He said the same thing, as I recall. They will all say that, which is true. However, I say it's deeper than that.
And so I go through a machine gun litany of what the Quran says, and I don't speak Arabic fluently, but enough words of the Quran to recite it in Arabic if necessary. And we go through that he was supernaturally conceived, as we alluded to earlier, by the Holy Spirit. And he's sinless. He could heal the sick, the blind. He could raise the dead.
He could form clay birds and breathe his breath on it. And it became living beings. What a miracle. And Allah took him up to heaven. And he's coming back on Judgment Day.
That's what all Christians believe too. So of course I appreciate that as part of the Quran. And he said, and he looks like surprised because very few Muslims have heard it all together. And that's just the tip of the iceberg. We have dozens and dozens and dozens of unbelievably divine attributes of Isa, Jesus, in the Quran. Like he's the word of God.
How much of that is outlined in your 2008 book? Most of it, but not all of it. Since then, there's been much more research. Where is that available? Well, I'm ready to do a trilogy of a new book called At War With Peace. But there are some people interested in making a movie first, and they asked me to hold it off and coordinate with the script and the release of a potential movie.
Could you do a course on that? Absolutely. Could you do a course for Peterson Academy on that? You don't have to answer that. Well, it would be an honor. I know you, what do you have, 50,000? 50,000 students, yeah. We got 30 of the best professors in the world. Yeah, it's coming along real nicely, but that's like... That's remarkable. Common ground between Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.
Well, that would be a wonderful course, and it sounds like you've done a tremendous amount of background work preparing for that, and so that would be, well, that would be a course I'd want to take, so... You know, that's one of my criteria for determining whether a course should be offered. Would I like to know that?
So back to the office of Omar al-Bashir. Have we brought up anything politically yet? The answer is no.
Yeah.
