Do Muslim's experience racial profiling at the airport? A tweet by Amanullah De Sondy has gained attention online -“Flying whilst Muslim is back! Landed at Dublin only to be profiled asking for a lot more information from me than a line of white travellers. A condescending, louder, more pronounced questioning as if to ask if I spoke English. I did question why me?but of course it's “random”! Andrea chats to Shaykh Dr Umar Al-Qadri, Islamic Theologian. Chair of Irish Muslim Peace & Integration Council.

New Zealand's parliament has backed down after ejecting a Maori politician because he refused to wear a tie. They will now allow him to speak without an accessory he labelled a "colonial noose". Should there be a strict business dress code for legislators or should cultural identities come first? Amanullah De Sondy is Head of the Study of Religion at University College Cork, and Sean Barrett is a former Fine Gael TD and Ceann Comhairle. They joined Kieran to discuss whether what happened in New Zealand was appropriate.

This story was heartbreaking to listen to On today's Dublin Talks we spoke about the Kerry teenager who got off with no convictions after messaging racist abuse to Ian Wright. We spoke to Amanullah De Sondy, senior lecturer in Contemporary Islam Studies at University College Cork who highlighted the issues with racism in Ireland. We also then got a call in from Joanne*, who told us how her 13-year-old son told her he hates her because of his skin colour. He is Irish, born in the Rotunda, but he's mixed-race. Joanne told of the extreme upset people have caused him with their comments.

Around 150 academics, writers and other public figures, including JK Rowling, Salman Rushdie and Noam Chomsky have signed a letter highlighting what they see as the negative effects of "cancel culture." They suggest that debate in public has frequently been stifled by increasingly polarised groups that condemn those with differing opinions. Amanullah De Sondy, Head of Study of Religions & Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at UCC and Brenda Power, Columnist with the Daily Mail and Sunday Times, discuss the impact of "cancel culture."  

It was a great pleasure to be joined in the tortoise shack by author, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam, proud Glaswegian, adopted Corkonian and always impeccably attired, Amanullah De Sondy. Aman tells us about his journey from Glasgow to Jordan to Miami to Cork. We discuss Islam, Catholicism, Paganism and the role religious studies has in our world today. Then Aman talks us through his ups and downs and shares his optimism, something that we could all do with a lot more of. We are very grateful to Aman for his time and can't recommend this thought provoking interview enough. Support The Tortoise Shack

In show fifty-one, Tara gets to meet Dr. Amanullah de Sondy in a show LIVE from Cork Podcast Festival. Dr. de Sondy is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College Cork. They chat religion and belief, Scottishness and ‘Muslimness’, kilts, masculinity and how all injustice is related. Tara suggests a terrible new title for his book and we learn more about how Dr. de Sondy ended up being an umpire at Wimbledon. TWICE. Tara also reads ‘Irotica’ from her own book ‘You’re Grand’ and tries to tenuously (“tentatively”) link it to the interview. She reckons it’s a perfect fit.  With thanks to Cork Podcast Festival, Aisling O’Riordan, Arran Mac Gabhann, Blindboy Boatclub for curating, Brian and all at Crawford Art Gallery.

In this Panti monologue Panti shares her coming of age story around 'The Pope's Visit' and touches on the theme of what we believe in and what faith means to us. In this episode, her guests in her chamber are novelist John Boyne, (author of The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas), Amanullah De Sondy, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam University College Cork, Sligo based Illustrator Annie West, singer Hozier and the actor and singer Bronagh Gallagher. Bronagh offers a song to the cabaret with Bronagh performing ‘Hand on my Heart’ from her new album and Hozier sings his song ‘To Be Alone.’ Pantisocracy Monologue Episode 6 “The Pope’s Visit” I think sometimes when people look at me, this big painted ‘lady’, they find it hard to imagine that I came from anywhere. They imagine that I just appeared, fully formed, like the Good Witch Glinda from her bubble. But of course I am from somewhere. I’m from a small town in Mayo called Ballinrobe. Ballinrobe is your typical, Irish, country market town. It has a couple of streets, a church, a Town Hall and huge excitement when Tescos came to town. And even though it now has a Tescos, and a black family, it hasn’t really changed much since I was growing up there, a young boy called Rory, in the 1970’s. Growing up in Ballinrobe, the much loved son of the local vet and his well respected wife, surrounded by five noisy brothers and sisters, countless animals, it was an idyllic upbringing: easy, free, fun. There wasn’t a lot to rebel against to be honest. But... In 1979, I started to think for myself. That was the year the Pope came to Ireland, and when he did, there were no dissenting voices. Or if there were, I was too young to hear them. This was going to be the greatest thing that has ever happened to Ireland – the Pope himself, this huge holy celebrity, was coming to Ireland and nothing would be the same again. Everyone was on board - even I was on board. After all, I was already putting my latent drag tendencies to work as Ballinrobe’s pre-eminent altar (lady) boy. But even my enthusiasm, driven as it was really by the perceived glamour of the occasion, paled into insignificance beside my mother’s Papal devotion. For days beforehand, our house, like every other house in Ballinrobe, was a hive of activity and nervous excitement, my mother a sandwich making tweedy blur, and at the crack of dawn on the big day she piled the Volkswagen high with egg sandwiches, brown bread, flasks of tea, Pope stools, and giddy children and drove to the next town, Claremorris, where we parked in a field. We then boarded shuttle busses to the site at Knock and in the grey early morning light it was a sight to behold – hundreds of thousands of damp pilgrims muttering their bovine devotions, stretched out across fields, ironically vacated by their actual bovine residents for the glorious occasion. We set up camp, miles from the stage, among nodding nuns, stressed mothers, praying shop-keepers, and farmers drinking cold tea from TK lemonade bottles, as an interminable rosary was broadcast over the tannoy system. By the time the Pope arrived it already felt like we’d been at a mass for days on end, but now an actual mass did start, and it was longer and more boring than any mass I’d ever been to in my twelve years. But during the mass I looked around me – and I had an epiphany of sorts. I didn’t belong here. I didn’t feel any wonder, any joy. I felt afraid. There was nothing spiritual or divine about this event; this was a cult. A cult of personality and hype. A colony of drones; a multicellular organism made up of unicellular minds. A wilful refusal to see with their own eyes. A switching off of all critical faculties. And if I’d had the courage I would have stood up and screamed, “The Pope has no clothes!” I didn’t become an atheist that day – that would be a longer process – but I took the first step... and became a Protestant. When the mass ended, the excitement was palpable, because this was wh...

What gets to count as Islam? In the current political climate this question is being repeated in a variety of contexts. The tapestry of various Islamic identities is revealed in an investigation of gender. In The Crisis of Islamic Masculinities (Bloomsbury, 2014), Amanullah De Sondy, Assistant Professor of Religious Studies at the University of Miami, tackles the construction of Muslim manhood in several interpretive traditions. These forms of masculinity – both ideal & reviled – are taken across a wide spectrum of thought, from Islamist perspectives to those challenging patriarchy. Many of the discussions revolve around similar themes, most importantly family, marriage, sexuality, and veiling. Other constructions of masculinity challenge heteronormativity within Muslim identities. The Qur’an is central to many of the interpretations discussed in the book but De Sondy demonstrates that here too we are not presented with a singular and clear ideal of masculinity. Qur’anic descriptions of male prophets, including Adam, Joseph, Muhammad, and Jesus, each complicate a simple narrative of Muslim manhood. In our conversation we discuss hermeneutical strategies, feminists approaches to the Qur’an, notions of love and sexual boundaries, the Mughal poet Mirza Ghalib, gender fluidity, Sufism in South Asia, prophethood, and same-sex love.
