Oh Canada. You used to be our best friend and now you want to "ghost" us. Trump orders Hegseth & Bondi to determine how the military can be used in domestic crime - and what will Trump be deciding is a crime? Protesting? Publishing anti-Trump facts? Judges that don't support him? Lawyers that represent legal residents? New Articles of Impeachment introduced into the House against Trump's "authoritarian power grab" are finally here. Oklahoma officials want the Big Lie taught in their schools. The truth is dying and needs to be revived. Founder, President Muslims for Progressive Values, Ani Zonneveld is asking us, as a Muslim - Does Inclusion include everyone? Here's JB Pritzker sounding like FDR calling for "mass protests" against Trump.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, John Pinna has a conversation with Ani Zonneveld, founder and president of Muslims for Progressive Values (MPV). Zonneveld discusses the organization's founding in response to the narrow representation of American Muslims post-9/11 and the dominance of conservative Muslim organizations. She highlights MPV's commitment to "10 principles" rooted in the social justice values of the Quran, emphasizing human dignity for all, including LGBTQ+ individuals, and the importance of egalitarian spiritual leadership, including female imams. The discussion also touches on the shifting political landscape, the increasing alliance between the Christian and Muslim right based on "family values" as code for anti-LGBTQ+ sentiment, and the potential threats to public education through legal challenges rooted in religious liberty claims. Zonneveld contrasts progressive faith organizations, which advocate for the separation of religion and state and inclusive values, with conservative religious groups that utilize religion to justify discrimination. She shares personal anecdotes, including a powerful encounter with an orthodox imam that led to a change in perspective on LGBTQ+ dignity. Zonneveld also critiques the hypocrisy within interfaith circles and the lack of action on human rights issues by some religious organizations. She ultimately emphasizes the importance of operationalizing core Islamic values of social justice and universal human dignity and making these teachings accessible to the public to foster change from within the Muslim community.

In JINS Podcast, we believe the future of Islam is female. Because, for the thousandth time, female imamship is not forbidden in Islam. The existence of mosques for women belongs to Islamic traditions. The Qur'an says nothing about women imams. But it points out that women are equal to men, that they are equal partners spiritually, intellectually and socially. Umm Waraqa was a woman renowned for her ability to recite the Quran in its entirety and who, in Medina, led a Friday prayer before a mixed assembly with the permission of the Prophet – Peace Be Upon Him. The hadiths report that after fleeing from Mecca to settle in Medina, the Prophet opened a mosque in his house, where two women led the prayers. One was Aïcha, his third wife, and the other, Oum Salama, his sixth. In JINS Podcast, you'll find further proof of their existence. All the women imams that I had the chance to interview: Eva Janadin in France, Seyran Ates in Germany, Ani Zonneveld in California, Amina Wadud in Indonesia and then the famous Sherin Khankan in Denmark. Speaking of! I am very honored today to welcome in @jins_podcast, Sherin Khankan. Sherin is Denmark's first female imam who has founded a women-led mosque called Mariam in Copenhagen. Sherin was born in Denmark to a Finish mother and a Syrian father, who came as a political refugee. She defines herself as being a product of two worlds that have to be brought back together. In 2016, she created FEMIMAM, an international movement bringing together intellectuals, women and men, defending the need to train female imams. In her mosque, Sherin and her fellow imams aim to build inter-faith bridges, provide a more welcoming atmosphere for female worshippers, and illuminate the theological diversity of the Islamic faith - frequently over-looked in an increasingly Islamophobic environment in Europe. She was included in the BBC's list of the top 100 most influential women in the world. She has written 4 books on Islam including "Women are the Future of Islam". Hébergé par Acast.

Once again, one of the awesome people I met at the Council on Foreign Relations in NYC. These conversations with Ani Zonneveld took place in 2017. What I noticed at the CFR conference is that there was a significant tension between Ani, the Director of Muslims for Progressive Values and those more traditional, orthodox Muslims. Ani is very impatient with what are often termed "moderate Muslims." It's not that she thinks they are extremists in disguise. Rather, she is concerned that while they do speak out against Islamist terrorist attacks, they remain silent on issues of gender, sexual orientation, religious tolerance, etc. She is frustrated that her non-Muslim counterparts left of center do things like wear hijabs in support of the women of Islam, when she as a Muslim finds such traditions medieval and useless. Really, these 2 episodes offer a great deal to think about. Enjoy.

Today on Sidebar! FIRST SEGMENT – Interviews with director ALISON REID and producer PAUL ZIMIC on their film THE WOMAN WHO LOVES GIRAFFES. Alison is one of the few lesbian directors in Hollywood. Before Jane Goodall ventured into the world of chimpanzees and before Dian Fossey left to find mountain gorillas, 23 year old biologist ANNE INNIS DAGG made a solo journey into South Africa.  Being a woman doing this in 1956, she had to overcome many sexist barriers to do her work.  She has sounded the alarm for the giraffes of Africa and the environmental alarm about what is happening to biological diversity on our planet. SECOND SEGMENT – Interviews with TAMMARA BILLIK and MICHELE NEFF HERNANDEZ on the event CAMP WIDOW sponsored by Soaring Spirits.  This organization is committed to helping widows and widowers deal with the loss of a spouse and living beyond that death.   Soaring Spirits has now created a weekend for LGBT widows and widowers to process their grief. THIRD SEGMENT – The 3 major faiths Judaism, Muslim and Christianity have each historically subjected woman to second class status. So what happens when a woman takes charge in each of these faiths to bring about cultural and social evolution? A deep discussion on religion, faith, women, sexism, misogyny, setbacks and progress with RABBI DENISE EGER from Temple Kol Ami, REVEREND DENYSE BARNES from First United Methodist Church of Hollywood and ANI ZONNEVELD from Muslims for Progressive Values.
