Gaza: Is International Law a Waste of Time? With Francesca Albanese

Nov 14 2024 48 mins  
Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly calls: https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslim Should we, people who remain married to justice, accept that international law, if it ever did work, is today defunct? In a broader sense, when we pursue its application are we in danger of creating a sense of false hope. These are the existential questions we are now asking ourselv

Keir Starmer's Secret War on Gaza with Matt Kennard

Nov 09 2024 68 mins  
There’s an assumption that the West have remained honest brokers in the Gaza genocide, or at least critical friends of Israel. My guest today Matt Kennard argues that contrary to public utterances, the British government, like the Americans are deeply involved in Israel’s merciless bombing of Gaza. They are providing military support, intelligence, diplomatic cover whilst at th

US Elections: Why We Must Be Radical - Professor Butch Ware

Nov 01 2024 80 mins  
The US elections are nearly upon us, and we have all be subject to the empty words and rhetoric of of the two main political parties. The Green Party has gained a lot of traction, especially amongst the countries small but very important Muslim community. I have already interviewed the leader of the Greens, Dr Jill Stein. But Today I have the pleasure to speak with Professor Butch

A Man on a Mission to Punish Genocide - Dr Hassan Abdel Salam

Oct 30 2024 45 mins  
The Abandon Harris campaign has been making waves across the US. It has galvanised largely Muslim and conscientious Americans so build a coalition together to resist the genocidal administration through the ballot box. They have a lot of detractors, paid democratic people ready to defame them. But my guest today is relentless.Hassan Abdel Salam is one of two founders of the Abandon

Jalal's Take: Can the Green Party Deliver for US Muslims?

Oct 28 2024 6 mins  
I know that not all Americans value what I have to say on the US elections. However, I do receive many emails and messages daily asking for advice, and my podcast, The Thinking Muslim, has been fairly instrumental in setting the correct intellectual parameters in parts of the US Muslim community when forming a conscious electoral decision on November 5th.My original position was to

Why Muslims Should Vote For The Green Party with Dr Jill Stein

Oct 27 2024 66 mins  
The pro-genocide administration of Biden and Harris has been involved in a frenetic outreach to America’s small but vocal Muslim community. These critical constituents in crucial battleground states like Michigan are where November’s election will be won or lost. Both parties, the Democrats and Republicans, are Zionist to their core, but this genocide has happened with the seal

African Americans, Democrat Deceit & Principled Politics with Imam Dawud Walid

Oct 25 2024 79 mins  
I have been struck by the thoughtful and nuanced conversations that are being had across the US about the coming elections. But there remains confusion. One such community that probably has reason to be sceptical of mainstream Muslim organisations and their approach to politics, as relationships, is the all-important African American Muslim community – very often neglected in any

The General's Plan: The Killing Fields of Northern Gaza

Oct 23 2024 37 mins  
We have seen the horrific genocidal scenes unfolding in the north of Gaza and in particular the onslaught by the occupation in Jabaliya. There is a horrendous cleansing of Palestinians, apparently to make way for Israeli settler expansion and cut the territory into two. This is a Nakba but worse. A catastrophe. But the world seems to remain silent. On a deeper level – many a

The Imam Taking on Kamala Harris and her Cheerleaders - Imam Tom Facchine

Oct 22 2024 62 mins  
The US elections are in full flow, with the two big parties focussing on the key swing states that will decide this election. In states like Michigan, a slight movement of voters can determine the outcome. And this means Muslim voters may play a decisive role.To help us understand the political and intellectual climate, I have invited back onto the show Imam Tom Facchine show. Imam
