  • A wonderful resource!

    This is a wonderful resource for Muslims, Muslimas and all those who wish to learn about Islam in all its complexity and diversity. I specially enjoyed the episode with Dr. Farah El-Sharif, “The Scholars Who Failed Gaza”. Dr. Farah is such an erudite! Her knowledge, clarity and bravery are to be commended! MashAllah!

  • Wahhabism

    Was excited to listen to this podcast. Then the first episode I listened to had them whitewashing Julani and regurgitating imperialist propaganda about the role of Iran and Russia in Syria

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

How Big Tech Feeds Israel’s War Machine | Ibtihal Aboussad
Q: Is there any firm evidence that Microsoft products are being used in Gaza at this moment beyond the surveillance technologies you speak of?
Yes, the usage of Microsoft AI by the Israeli military has multiplied significantly since the conflict escalated.
How Big Tech Feeds Israel’s War Machine | Ibtihal Aboussad
Q: Should you not have stayed in the company and fought from within because you had more influence within a company, than say outside a company?
Aboussad argues that previous efforts to enact change internally fell on deaf ears and eventually led to her job loss due to escalating situations.
Exclusive: Sami Hamdi Speaks After His ICE Detention
Q: Did you know that there were prisoners... in these ICE detention centers for 10 months plus?

Is the Kaaba safe in Saudi Hands? | Omar Abdulaziz
Q: Is the holy place of Mecca, the Kaaba, is it safe in Saudi hands?
I would say that if you want to go to Saudi Arabia to do Hajj or Umrah, you might be safe as long as that you haven't been criticizing the Saudi royal family or MBS.
Judaism Is Not Zionism | Rabbi Elhanan Beck
Q: What should a post-Zionism Israel or post-Zionism Palestine look like?
Rabbi Beck argues from a Jewish perspective, there should be no state of Israel. The entire land should revert to the Palestinians, and Jews should live peacefully as citizens of a Palestinian state.
