Speaker 0: The speaker discusses content from the Catholic Catechism and a separate critical perspective on Islam. They cite that the Catholic Catechism states the church's relationship with Muslims is part of the plan of salvation, and that Muslims acknowledge the creator, with the first place among whom they are included being the Muslims. They quote: “They profess to hold the faith of Abraham, and together with us, they adore the one merciful God.”
They then promote a small comic book called The Prophet by Jack Chick, noting it is available from their ministry for about $2. The speaker uses The Prophet to claim that Catholics started Islam. According to this view, Catholics “started the whole religion,” purposely to recover the holy land for the Catholics. The narrative claims Catholics built up Islam, funded Mohammed, trained him, and even sent a Catholic nun out of a monastery to find a young promising Muslim, marry him, and train him to raise an army of Arabs to take back the holy land for the mother church.
The speaker acknowledges this as an interesting story to read if someone wants to explore it further. They assert that it began to work, but eventually Islam grew so large that the Catholics were abandoned by Muslims. The speaker concludes with a generalization, stating that the current global Muslim population—now estimated by the speaker as “10%, 20% of the world population”—is largely unaware that “they really started off as a front for the Catholic church.”
