This podcast is very political discussing viewpoints and disagreements from Muslim groups in the United States and Europe. Of course terrorism is one of the main topics they talk about. They talk a lot about key figures of Islam and what is going on over in the Middle East. The audio is decent. I think one host is in Washington, DC and the other is in London so that might be why it sounds a little bit likes it's over the phone line.
