The Medieval Middle East, Muezza and the Mark of Muhammad (or Mary)
Season 2 Episode 2 featuring a Middle East and Islamic historian, a returning religion historian and a Catholic culture writer
Happy Tuesday everyone!
Today, we’re thrilled to head east - to the Middle East (or…is it?) and purr-sue the origin of the legendary Mark of Muhammad - or Mary - with the help of two historians - Dr. Ali A. Olomi of Head on History, a podcast about history and religion focusing on Islam and the Middle East and our returning religion historian Dr. Megan Goodwin of Keeping it 101: A Killjoy’s Introduction to Religion podcast. We’re also reunited with Catholic culture writer René Ostberg, from patron saint of cats episode on St. Gertrude.
Listen and learn about the medieval period, the tenets of the Qu’ran as relating to cats, the otherworldly (or are they?) jinn - and the whole kitten caboodle of the cat-Islam connection.
Stream via Spotify, Pocket Casts, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast (find yours here! ), give us a 5 star rating and in you review, drop a comment about what YOU learned from this episode!
