During Providence‘s “Islam, the Middle East, and Christian Engagement with the Middle East” event in Middleburg, Virginia, Marek Jan Chodakiewicz from the Institute of World Politics in DC gave an introductory lecture on how Islam developed and how those developments affect geopolitics today.
Due to technical difficulties, the very end of the lecture did not record. Our apologies.
