The main idea of the video is to show what Islam is and who the key people in it development were, beginning with Muhammad. It also talked about how the faith spread and became a fast growing empire against impossible odds. The main idea of the interview I think is to explain what Muslims are and are not. It was also to get rid of some common ideas that Americans had about Muslims and clarifying that the people that are blowing up buildings and cars are not the majority by any means and to lot all Muslims together like that would be like saying that Christianity is evil because some crazy woman claims God told her to drown her children.
