2025 Conflicted Christmas Special

CONFLICTED

An ex-Al Qaeda jihadi turned MI6 spy and a former monk turned filmmaker, have been embedded at the heart of conflicts in the Middle East. Together Aimen Dean and Thomas Small unpack the realities of war, fundamentalism and their global implications through first-hand experience.

What is ‘the Christmas story’ really? And how does it change when you tell it from within a different religious tradition? In Conflicted’s first-ever Christmas Special, Thomas and Aimen retell the Nativity as it appears in the Gospels and in the Qur’an. 

They discuss:

 Who were the Magi? Zoroastrian priests or Nabataean nomads?

 How the Nativity story differs between the Bible and the Qur’an

 A controversial theory about how local Christian traditions may have shaped the Qur’anic telling

 The overlooked reason why Qur’an presumes its audience already knows the underlying stories

 Christ’s ‘unfinished business’ in Islam: the Second Coming and the fight against the Antichrist

 The sharpest divergence: the Crucifixion and what it implies about Jesus’ mission
