In Rev. Peter Luckey's first of three sermons on understanding Islam, he talks about the Five Pillars of Islam by way of increasing understanding of Muslims. He says it's not Islam that's behind terrorism-it's fear. Fear of the 'other.' Leaders feed off that fear to manipulate people whether Muslims, Christians, or otherwise. Rev. Luckey asserts that the more people attempt to understand the 'other,' the less fear will have a foothold in people's lives.
