Created: 13 February 2019

Doctor Bernie Power, a missiologist at the Melbourne School of Theology and a lecturer with the Centre for the Study of Islam and other faiths, gave answers to the big questions when he appeared on Vision Radio’s 20Twenty program recently.

Bernie Power said the terror attacks and the suicide bombings we see today go right back to the time of Muhammad, the founder of Islam.

“When Muhammad was in Mecca the leaders asked him what he wanted. He said ‘I can give you something that will enable you to conquer the whole of Arabia and subject the non-Arab world to your domination’.”
