On today's Audiobook Review, we're having a Book Club roundtable. Joining our conversation is our audiobook contributor and bookworm, Aamer Khan. We dive into a book club question that we asked you guys on social media and we will be sharing those answers too. The question is, Who's your favorite character of all time and why?

Better reading/audiobook listening comprehension leads to greater enjoyment of books. do not neglect the quality of book consumption over quantity. These are the messages we want to impart with you in todays episode. Aamer Khan joins Jacob and Ramya to discuss how we can all improve our reading comprehension. Titles mentioned in this week's episode The book that sparked todays discussion: How to Read a Book: The Classic Guide to Intelligent Reading by Mortimer J. Adler Aamer Khan's selections: Past Tense (Jack Reacher, #23) by Lee Child Extinction by Douglas Preston John Dies at the End by David Wong

Homes: A Refugee Story By Abu Bakr Al-Rabeeah and Winnie Yeung was recommended to us by our audiobook curator, Aamer Khan, as part of a previous episode where we discussed books that can make us shed a tear... or three. Ramya and I read it and now, we've reconvened with Aamer to record a proper in depth review. It's a great, accessibly written, true story about a tightknit family as they try to find a place to call home. Originally from Iraq, they move to Syria, only to be caught up in the civil war. While they eventually make their way to Edmonton Canada, the time they spend in Syria, anxiously toiling through the refugee process will mark them forever. This book does a lot to humanize the countless refugees around the world, who are too often reduced to simple statistics. Here it is on audible. Note that it's also available on CELA: https://www.audible.ca/pd/Homes-Audiobook/B07QHG7N5V Plus, Jeff Ryman joins us in the second half for his turn at rapid fire review.

On today's episode: One of the beautiful things about audiobooks is the flexibility they give us. If you're reading a print book, you just sit there and look down at your book. With an audiobook, on the other hand, you have both your hands available and you're free to walk around and do whatever you want while you listen. We want to discuss how we use that extra flexibility. Plus, Aamer Kahn, our very own audiobook curator, prepared an autobiography trivia game for us.

Persecution of Christians in the Middle East has been a recurring theme since the middle of the nineteenth century. The topic has experienced a resurgence in the last few years, especially during the Trump era. Middle Eastern Christians are often portrayed as a homogeneous, helpless group ever at the mercy of their Muslim enemies, a situation that only Western powers can remedy.  The Politics of Persecution: Middle Eastern Christians in an Age of Empire (Baylor UP, 2021) revisits this narrative with a critical eye. Mitri Raheb charts the plight of Christians in the Middle East from the invasion of Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 to the so-called Arab Spring. The book analyzes the diverse socioeconomic and political factors that led to the diminishing role and numbers of Christians in Palestine, Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Jordan during the eras of Ottoman, French, and British Empires, through the eras of independence, Pan-Arabism, and Pan-Islamism, and into the current era of American empire. With an incisive exposé of the politics that lie behind alleged concerns for these persecuted Christians--and how the concept of persecution has been a tool of public diplomacy and international politics--Raheb reveals that Middle Eastern Christians have been repeatedly sacrificed on the altar of Western national interests. The West has been part of the problem for Middle Eastern Christianity and not part of the solution, from the massacre on Mount Lebanon to the rise of ISIS.  The Politics of Persecution, written by a well-known Palestinian Christian theologian, provides an insider perspective on this contested region. Middle Eastern Christians survived successive empires by developing great elasticity in adjusting to changing contexts; they learned how to survive atrocities and how to resist creatively while maintaining a dynamic identity. In this light, Raheb casts the history of Middle Eastern Christians not so much as one of persecution but as one of resilience. Byung Ho Choi is a Ph.D. candidate in the History and Ecumenics program at Princeton Theological Seminary, concentrating in World Christianity and history of religions. His research focuses on the indigenous expressions of Christianities found in Southeast Asia, particularly Christianity that is practiced in the Muslim-dominant archipelagic nation of Indonesia. More broadly, he is interested in history and the anthropology of Christianity, complexities of religious conversion and social identity, inter-religious dialogue, ecumenism, and World Christianity. Tala Raheb is a doctoral candidate in Asian, African, and Middle Eastern Religions (AAMER) at Emory University. Her dissertation examines how Palestinian American Christians interact with Christian Zionism at the intersection of American religion and politics. In addition to her work in AAMER, Tala is pursuing a concentration in World Christianity. Learn more about your ad choices.

Guantanamo Bay ist ein Schandfleck der westlichen Welt. Über 750 Menschen waren dort schon inhaftiert und über 90 sind immer noch eingesperrt, viele von ihnen erwiesenermaßen schuldlos. Häftling 239 heißt mit richtigem Namen Shaker Aamer und war 14 Jahre lang unschuldig inhaftiert. Und in Guantanamo Bay heißt das Folter, Erniedrigung und Rechtlosigkeit... Alles Dinge, die wir doch eigentlich nicht gut finden, oder?

On today's episode I am pleased to introduce Aamer Safdar to the podcast. A pharmacist that has spent over 20 years in the training and workforce development sector of pharmacy. In the course of two decades, he has seen approximately 350 pre-registration pharmacists/trainee pharmacists complete their training and register as pharmacists with the GPhC. Aamer and I shortly crossed paths when I first joined Guys and St Thomas' NHS trust in 2019 where he was employed as the Principal Pharmacist Lead for Education & Development. He has also worked in a variety of other educational roles, such as: - Education and Committee Member at UKCPA - Pharmacy Lecturer at two brilliant universities in London: UCL and KCL - A variety of roles at the Royal Pharmaceutical Society - Council Member at GPhC Today's episode highlights why we both love working in an education and training role within pharmacy. There is something really special and unique about seeing pharmacy students and trainee pharmacists develop into confident professionals. We gain in-depth insight into how the pre-registration training year has changed over the past 20 years and hear Aamer's thoughts on what it will be like for the next generations of pharmacists.

"Everyone has different circumstances and situations, but do you let those circumstances and situations control you, or do you control your situations and circumstances?" - Aamer Rehman Aamer Rehman (@Heelaamer) is a Personal Trainer and a Specialized Sales Manager in the healthcare industry. In this episode, we discuss Aamer's transformational journey as an Indian-American in the fitness space, the importance of placing health and wellness at the center of one's life, and the beauty of the attempts, in whatever you do. Aamer shares the important distinction between the victim vs. the victor mindset - through both his journey as a former football player and as an Indian American growing up in a hardworking blue-collar immigrant household - choosing the victor mindset means becoming the master of your circumstances.

In this first episode of our ancient assassinations mini-series, we talk about the life and death of one of history's greatest conquerors, Gaius Julius Caesar.

We talk about Caesar's time as a military leader, numerous love affairs, some ironic execution methods, and Aamer's gift for tongue twisters.

Bollywood, the world's biggest film industry had, until recently, largely avoided the inter-faith tensions that surface repeatedly elsewhere in India. Many leading men are Muslims - a fact that has been no apparent impediment to their success. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown explores the history of Muslims in Bollywood through the prism of the number of powerful leading male actors who share the same Muslim surname - Khan. The Khans have quite literally taken over Bollywood. Aamir, Salman, Shah Rukh, Aamer, Saif Ali and Irfan - to name but a few - currently dominate the industry. Almost all are Muslim or of Muslim descent, hugely successful and able to navigate two of the most powerful forces working against them - the puritanism of Islam and the ever-increasing grip of Hindu fundamentalism in India. They are some of the nation's best-loved and most successful actors, brand ambassadors of the official "Incredible India" tourism campaign - and Muslims in a majority-Hindu nation. And many of them are married to Hindus. Prominent actors, writers, directors, producers, composers, film historians, politicians and critics explain how the Khans have managed to successfully carve out their careers as Muslims in a Hindu world, about how they see the future unfolding under the growing Hindu fundamentalist culture of India, as well as against the national and international backdrop of Islamic fundamentalism.

In 2011 the Prime Minister announced the two part Leveson inquiry into the role of the press and police in the phone-hacking scandal. Part 1 examined the culture, practices and ethics of the press. However, Part 2 could not commence until police investigations and criminal proceedings had been completed. This week, the CPS announced it would cease any ongoing criminal investigations. So, will Leveson Part 2 now happen? The BBC's legal correspondent Clive Coleman, Prof. Natalie Fenton from Goldsmiths University and campaign group Hacked Off, and journalist Neil Wallis, who was tried and acquitted for phone hacking, discuss. The BBC's News at Ten is to run 10 minutes longer in the New Year, with the bulletin set to end at 22:45 GMT on every weekday except Friday. According to the corporation, "the extended Ten will give audiences even more news analysis and explanation". But does the audience want a longer programme? Steve Hewlett talks to Gavin Allen, BBC controller of Daily news programmes, and Jonathan Baker, former BBC editor of the 1, 6 and 10'o clock news bulletins. The last British person to be held at the American military base at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba has been telling his story this week. Shaker Aamer was released and sent back to the UK two months ago - after 14 years in captivity as a terror suspect. During that time, he was never charged or put on trial. In a broad-ranging interview with the Mail on Sunday this week, he made allegations about his treatment. Journalist David Rose wrote that story, and has led the campaign for Aamer's release for many years. Steve Hewlett speaks to David about his work, and meeting Shaker for the first time. Producer: Katy Takatsuki.

Here Aamer articulates how the Adam Goodes controversy sums up the issues of Australia's race problem, how he views the impact of his work, cultural appropriation, Iggy Azalea, ethnic faces on TV, Bill Maher, Cornel West and political correctness in comedy.

Back in April, I had the privilege of interviewing (straight) Australian comedian Aamer Rahman while he was touring the US. Rahman is perhaps best known as part of the comedy duo Fear of a Brown Planet, and for the video that went viral of his joke about "reverse racism". In this interview, Aamer and I discuss growing up brown and Muslim in Australia pre-9/11 versus post-9/11, getting into comedy by accident, and selling out shows all over Australia. Read the transcript at scribd.com/artactivistnia. Support the podcast at patreon.com/artactivistnia.

Comedian Aamer Rahman and I talk about the origins of Australia's retro racism, the hostile whiteness of the comedy industry, and surviving the creative fields from the margins.

Several days ago I read an interesting article in the paper on the tiny Black community in Basra, Iraq. The piece was basically a foreign take on the impacts of the Obama election, for Black Iraqis hoped this would signal better conditions for them in the land of their ancestors. Black people are hardly new to Iraq. Their present population stems from slave importations from over a thousand years ago, when the city of Basra, in Iraq's southern sliver, was the seat of Mesopotamia. Africans were kidnapped into bondage, and forced to work (I kid you not) in the region's salt mines. In the early third of the seventh century (ca. 820 C. E.), Blacks staged a powerful rebellion, which forced the government to flee. This revolution, called "The Revolt of the Zenj" by Arab historians, lasted for over 20 years. This revolution was betrayed, and the rebels were slain and some put back into bondage. The name "Revolt of the Zenj" is so named because Blacks from the southeast coast of Africa, called "Zenjabar" by the Arabs (later Zanzibar, and today a part of Tanzania) were captured by the millions and sold into slavery throughout the Arab world. The hundreds of thousands of Black Iraqis today are among their descendants. As such, they live lives of discrimination, poor education, under-and-unemployment and poverty. One Basra father explained his decision to remove his daughter from school because she was teased with the term abd (Arabic for slave) by her classmates. The father said, "it is my wish that she will read and write, but I cannot let her have these...problems." The Black Iraqi population numbers in the thousands, not the millions. But even after a millennia and a half in Iraq, they still sing ancient songs of a distant African memory. 1/25/09] (c) '09 Mumia Abu-Jamal [Source: Madhani, AAmer, "Obama's Rise Inspires Arab Iraqis in Politics", USA Today, Jan. 19, 2009, 9A.; Albert Hourani, A History of the Arab Peoples (N.Y. ; Faber and Faber, 1991) ]
