Muhammad vs. Jesus: Why Islam Is a Political Ideology, Not a Religion | Under God Podcast Episode 281

Is Islam entitled to the same religious protections as Christianity in America? Pastors Nate Brown and Daniel Hayworth deliver a biblically grounded, historically anchored answer — and it may change how you see everything happening in our culture today.

In this episode of the Under God Podcast, the pastors continue their Islam in America series with a rigorous theological comparison of Muhammad and Jesus. Using C.S. Lewis's famous Liar, Lunatic, or Lord framework, Pastor Daniel demonstrates how Muhammad fails every category that would make him a legitimate prophetic figure — while the biblical evidence for Christ is insurmountable and verifiable across millennia of covenantal history.

Pastor Nate traces the biblical narrative from Adam through Abraham, Moses, David, and finally to Jesus — showing how the entire arc of Scripture could only have been authored by God. Muhammad, by contrast, has no prophetic anticipation, no covenantal continuity, and no redemptive storyline. What he does have is a history of raids, conquest, the Shahada ("submit or die"), and a political ideology that rewards the deepest corruptions of the human heart.

The pastors also address what America's founders truly meant by religious liberty — a concept rooted in Christian denominationalism, not a universal free pass for political ideologies that call for the overthrow of the nation.
