The History of Islam podcast is a weekly podcast released every Monday on the history of Islam. Seemingly out of nowhere, the Arabs swept near east and rapidly conquered the region between Nile and the Oxus. In the process the world's two premier superpowers were brought to their knees. In this podcast we will look at the events leading to this and what followed! The blog (http://goo.gl/VHkUbo) will accompany the podcast with episode guides, updates, maps and lots of additional content!
