If you enjoyed this episode please leave a 5 rating and review*In this episode, I have the honour of speaking with Asma Shuweikh, a columnist, activist, public speaker, and proud British Muslim woman living in Birmingham, UK.Asma shares her powerful story, from the viral video of her intervening in a racist incident on the London tube, to her experiences growing up in Britain, facing discrimination, and her involvement in a documentary about the lives of Muslim women in the UK. We delve into misconceptions about Islam and wearing the hijab, the importance of integration and understanding between different communities, and Asma's journey of turning personal trauma into a driving force for advocacy and strength.This is a deeply moving conversation about resilience, identity, and the enduring hope for a more accepting society.My Hijab, My Choice directed by Samir Mehanovic is available on Al Jazeera English.⁠Key Takeaways:The act of intervening in injustice, as Asma did on the tube, stems from a deep-seated belief in standing up against wrongdoing, a principle she feels is part of her faith and personal experience with discrimination.Many misconceptions exist about Muslim women, particularly regarding the hijab, which Asma emphasises is a personal choice and a source of strength and identity, contrary to the narrative of oppression.Integration and taking the time to understand people from different backgrounds are crucial for breaking down barriers, challenging prejudices, and fostering a more cohesive society.Personal experiences of discrimination and trauma, while deeply challenging, can be channelled into resilience and a commitment to advocating for others and creating positive change.Despite ongoing challenges and feelings of not always belonging, there is a growing sense of empowerment and increased dialogue, offering hope for greater understanding and solidarity in the future.Episode highlights:01:25: Asma recounts the 2019 tube incident that went viral and the subsequent media attention.06:13: Discussing the stereotype of Muslim women as weak and Asma's determination to be seen as strong.17:39: Asma shares a childhood memory of her mother experiencing racial abuse and the lasting impact of feeling like an outsider.35:06: Asma offers advice on how to intervene safely and effectively if witnessing harassment.59:05: Asma's vision for a society built on acceptance and understanding.About the Guest:Asma Shuweikh is a columnist, activist, and public speaker.

Install Coupert to never overpay again: https://www.coupert.com/join-coupert?ref=andrewgoldheretics-1743609600&m=youtube Douglas Murray joins Andrew Gold to break down his debate with comedian Dave Smith on the Joe Rogan podcast. They discuss misinformation about Israel and Hamas, and why comedians shouldn't be treated as Middle East experts. Murray explains how antisemitic propaganda — including Mein Kampf — is still widespread across the Arab world, and how Nazi-style ideology remains mainstream in parts of the Muslim world. Get Douglas' book On Democracies & Death Cults: Israel, Hamas and the Future of the West here: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Democracies-Death-Cults-Israel-Future/dp/0008729565 They cover the October 7 attacks, including shocking statistics on British Muslim beliefs, and the trend of accusing Israel of crimes committed by its enemies. Murray warns about the “Lebanonisation” of Europe and reflects on the West's growing instability, woke double standards, and the UN's disproportionate focus on Israel. The episode also explores historical revisionism around Churchill, the dangers of expert denial, and the moral challenges facing democracies when confronted by terrorist regimes.

A gross scandal is unfolding in Britain. The British Dawa man and a Muslim scholar, Mohammed Hijab, has been accused by a Muslim woman of sexually and psychologically abusing and controlling her in the name of Misyar marriage, which is permissible in Islam. The wife in this kind of marriage gives up some rights typical of a traditional Islamic marriage. This essentially grants permission to Muslim men to sexually abuse Muslim women for the sole purpose of sexual gratification. However, the issue of a Muslim woman being sexually exploited has been met with defamatory silence from the British Muslim communities. At the expense of a Muslim woman's integrity, those who have spoken out appear more concerned with preserving the "reputation" of Islam and the Muslim communities in Britain. As I say, it is considered a "noble lie" in Muslim culture to take part in the conspiracy of silence to downplay the abuses of women's rights in the name of upholding the so-called honour of religion and family.

Kyai (Shaykh) Paul Salahuddin Armstrong is a British Muslim leader, multifaith advocate, and public speaker committed to fostering understanding, unity, and positive change in society. In 1998, his personal quest for meaning led him to explore various faith traditions, culminating in his decision to embrace Islam on 1st March 2000. His affiliation with the Naqshbandi Sufi Tariqah (Sufi order) and Nahdlatul Ulama reflects Paul's holistic approach to faith, which encourages intellectual inquiry, spiritual reflection, and active engagement in society. In his roles as an imam and murshid, he has served British and international Muslim communities for over 15 years, advocating for a balanced and inclusive approach to Islam. Paul is the Managing Director (Amir) of the Association of British Muslims, the UK's oldest Muslim organization.

In this episode of The New Mind Podcast, I sit down with Adam Kelwick, a British Muslim Imam and humanitarian aid worker known for his efforts in representing the British Muslim community, inter-faith work and his tireless advocacy for the humanitarian crisis in Yemen.This conversation wasn't about controversy or debate - it was about curiosity. I wanted to approach the topics surrounding Islam with openness, allowing space for understanding rather than assumption. Adam was incredibly kind, patient, and generous in sharing his insights, offering a perspective rooted in both lived experience and deep compassion.There are subjects that, for many, evoke strong opinions or preconceptions. Instead of shying away from them, I aimed to explore them with a genuine desire to listen and learn. This is not a clickbait episode…it's a space for thoughtful dialogue, an opportunity to step beyond what we think we know and into a conversation that is human, honest, and deeply relevant.Subscribe to The New Mind podcast for more uplifting and insightful conversations that explore the depths of mental health, personal growth, and inspiring stories of individuals making a difference in the world.Thank youConnect with me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ellamccrystal Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ellamccrystalhypno   TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ella_mccrystalWeb: https://www.ellamccrystal.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@EllaMcCrystalConnect with Adam: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adamkelwickFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/adam.kelwickX: https://x.com/adamkelwick?lang=en

With the help of the FSU, a former Royal Marine who served in Iraq has been cleared of publishing threatening material with intent to stir up racial hatred – in reality, a 12-minute Facebook video urging people to stage peaceful protests about illegal immigration. Jamie Michael, an FSU member, was unanimously acquitted by a jury at Merthyr Tydfil Crown Court in just 17 minutes. The story was reported this week in The Telegraph. We paid his legal fees and arranged for him to be represented by solicitor Luke Gittos and barrister Adam King. Prosecutors claimed his language was “unrelentingly negative” towards immigrants, but his defence made clear that it was directed only at those who are “illegal, unchecked or radicalised”. The jury reached its verdict in 17 minutes, less time than it took to hear the prosecution's opening arguments. FSU General Secretary Toby Young has written to the Chief Constable of Greater Manchester Police (GMP) on behalf of the FSU protesting its decision to release the name and street address of the man who was arrested on Monday for publicly burning the Koran. In the letter, Toby tells the Chief Constable: “As you must know, demonstrations involving damage to or the destruction of a Koran have been responded to with violence of the most serious kind. Just last week, an Iraqi man named Salwab Momika was murdered in Sweden after he burnt a Koran”. Meanwhile, Angela Rayner, in her role as communities secretary, is planning a new council on ‘Islamophobia' and lining up ex-Tory attorney-general Dominic Grieve to chair it, according to The Telegraph. The 16-strong body will draw up an official government definition of Islamophobia. In 2018 Mr Grieve wrote a foreword to the report by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on British Muslims which set out the controversial definition of Islamophobia later adopted by the Labour Party when it was in opposition. This definition has been widely criticised – including in a Free Speech Union briefing – for being far too broad and labelling perfectly legitimate criticisms of Islam ‘Islamophobic'. We end with a report that NHS staff have been told not to call people “obese” in an inclusive language guide produced by the medicines watchdog, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE). The guide, reported in The Telegraph, instructs medical workers to describe the badly overweight as “people with obesity”. It also warns against using “diabetic”, and “alcoholic” rather than “people with diabetes” and “people who are dependent on alcohol”. ‘That's Debatable!'  is edited by Jason Clift.

Mona Siddiqui and guests hear from Rev Denzil Larbi. He reflects on his cousin, Elianne Andam, who was 15 when she was fatally stabbed at a bus stop in Croydon, South London, in September 2023. He discusses their Christmases together and how the family mark Christmas without her.The panel of guests explore the complexities that often come with religious festivals especially those that come with an expectation of jollity. Do religions do enough for those who are grieving or isolated at times of collective merriment? Should religious leaders and communities be more responsible and nuanced in their approach? And, are some religions better at dealing with grief than others?To discuss Mona is joined by Jasvir Singh, from the Department of Theology and Religion at Birmingham University, Chair of City Sikhs, and the founder and Chair of the British Sikh Report, the Revd Lucy Winkett, Rector of St James's, Piccadilly, and Priest-in-Charge of St Pancras's Church, Euston Road, and Remona Aly, British Muslim journalist, commentator and broadcaster with a focus on faith, identity and lifestyle.

Popular discourse around British Muslims has often been dominated by a focus on Muslim women and their sartorial choices, particularly the hijab and niqab. British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End: The Changing Landscape of Dress and Language (Manchester UP, 2024) by Dr. Fatima Rajina takes a different angle and focuses on Muslim men, examining how factors like the global war on terror influenced and changed their sartorial choices and use of language. The book denaturalises the ubiquitous and deeply problematic security lens through which knowledge of Muslims has been produced in the past two decades. British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End offers an alternative reading of these communities and how their political subjectivities emerge. Drawing on historical events, field research and existing academic work, the book aims to address the multiple ways British Bangladeshi Muslim men and women create their relationship with dress and language. This is the first book to empirically examine how dress and language shape the identities of British Bangladeshi Muslims in the East End, using in-depth analysis useful for anyone interested in the study of British Muslims broadly. While the book focuses on a specific Muslim community, the emerging themes demonstrate the interconnectedness of Muslims locally and globally and how they manifest their identities through dress and language. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose new book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Since the start of the Israel/Gaza war, Islamophobia has risen right across our country, with hundreds of incidents reported every month. Although the war is thousands of miles away, anti-Muslim hate crimes are happening close to home, right on our streets, leaving many British Muslims fearful for their safety. So, what's it like to be a British Muslim today? And how do they feel about their future in Britain? ITV News Political Correspondent Shehab Khan tells Cari Davies what you need to know... 

Baroness Sayeeda Warsi, Britain's first Muslim cabinet minister, has long been an outspoken critic of her own party over its attitudes towards Islam. Last week, after an investigation was launched against her over a post on social media, she resigned the whip saying it is a reflection of ‘how far right' the Conservative Party has moved since her time in office.  Warsi has just released a book, “Muslims Don't Matter”, which is an impassioned polemic setting out her views on the hypocrisy and double standards applied to British Muslims. In this episode of The Political Fourcast, she speaks to Cathy Newman about the Israel-Gaza war, Islamophobia in the UK and the Conservative Party's "disturbing" shift to the extremist right. Produced by Silvia Maresca and Calum Fraser.

This week: Miliband's empty energy promises. Ed Miliband has written a public letter confirming that Labour plans to decarbonise the electricity system by 2030. The problem with this, though, is that he doesn't have the first idea about how to do it. The grid doesn't have the capacity to transmit the required energy, Ross Clark writes, and Miliband's claim that wind is ‘nine times cheaper' than fossil fuels is based upon false assumptions. What is more, disclosed plans about ‘GB Energy' reveal that Miliband's pet project isn't really a company at all – but an investment scheme. This empty vessel will funnel taxpayer money into the hands of private companies rather than produce any energy itself. To discuss, Lara and Will were joined by Shaun Spiers, executive director of the Green Alliance and Stanley Johnson, former MEP, environmental campaigner and author of the new book In the footsteps of Marco Polo deals extensively on China's energy problems and opportunities. (02:26) Then: Lara and Will take us through some of their favourite pieces from the magazine, including the lead book review and Catriona Olding's Still Life column. Next: meet Nigel Farage's millionaire Reform chairman. The Reform party has a new poster boy, the 37-year-old party Chairman Zia Yusuf. Self-dubbed a ‘British Muslim patriot', Yusuf is a former Goldman Sachs partner and tech owner with an expensive taste for cars. He is tasked with transforming Farage's outfit from a limited company into a proper party. You can read James Heale's full interview with Yusuf in this week's magazine, but they have kindly allowed us to hear a section of their discussion on the podcast. They talk about the Nigel Farage effect and Lee Anderson's comments about Sadiq Khan. (18:34) And finally: should we feel sorry for restaurant critics? Angus Colwell, The Spectator's assistant online editor, writes about the plight of the restaurant critic and the stresses of doing what many would consider the best job in the world. To discuss further, Angus joined us alongside the Observer's restaurant critic Jay Rayner, whose new book Nights Out, At Home celebrates his 25 years as a food critic and is available to buy now. (29:41)  Hosted by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

The streets of Britain took a 180-degree turn from leftists protesting Israel's genocide in Gaza to far-right fascists rioting in favor of the expulsion of migrants and Muslims from the country. On this week's episode of ‘Mehdi Unfiltered,' Mehdi speaks to British Member of Parliament Zarah Sultana, the youngest Muslim woman ever elected to the House of Commons, on what's happening on the ground and what's driving this shocking wave of right-wing political violence. “These racist, Islamophobic, far right riots haven't come from nowhere, they are a culmination of racist headlines and racist framing by our media and our political class,” she tells Mehdi. And it isn't just newspaper headlines or political rhetoric that has helped exacerbate these riots, Sultana explains. “You've got people like Elon Musk who are also perpetuating this conspiracy… we see how he has used Twitter to amplify anti-migrant rhetoric, anti-trans rhetoric,” she says. Watch their full discussion above, unpacking the horrifying riots that have led to more than 500 arrests and are still keeping people on high alert. This week, thousands of anti-racist counter-protestors gathered in public, to take a stand against the far-right, amid a heightened police presence. Also on the show, Mehdi speaks with liberal YouTube star Brian Tyler Cohen about the state of the Harris v Trump U.S. presidential race and the ongoing radicalization of the Republican Party. With his new book ‘Shameless: Republicans' Deliberate Dysfunction and the Battle to Preserve Democracy,' releasing soon, Brian doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the modern MAGA-led GOP.“The case is that Republicans are not who they have claimed to be in terms of their historical branding… and I think exposing the reality of the situation that we're living in… will kind of pry them [Americans] away from the spell that Republicans have put on them,” says Brian.That spell Brian talks about is one that is rarely broken by mainstream media, but rather protected through ‘both sides' normalizing coverage of Trump's insane rhetoric. “They [the mainstream media] feel this obligation somehow to continue on as these neutral observers that have no skin in the game,” Brian tells Mehdi, who he also interviewed for his new book. Do watch the full show above and, for paid subscribers, be sure to let us know in the comments below what you think of the show and who we should have on next!

Giles Fraser meets Hafsa Rizki, a British Muslim women who coaches women in polygamous relationships. Her husband was already married when they met and got married themselves. She doesn't like the term, but she says she is a second wife and tells Giles about why it's a successful relationship, and how it's part of her spiritual journey. Perhaps surprisingly, polygamy is 'more commonplace' than might be expected in the UK, according to Dame Louise Casey in her government review on integration and equality in 2016. In a society where the model of monogamy has dominated for centuries, what leads people to enter polygamous marriages? What is it's religious history and what are the ethical and moral questions it raises? Plus, as polyamory is more openly discussed and practiced, is the model of monogamy no longer fit for purpose?To discuss Giles is joined by Yasmin Rehman, CEO of Juno Women's Aid and a campaigner on women's rights, Imam Waleid Allam and Susannah Cornwall, Professor on Constructive Theologies at the University of Exeter. Producer: Rebecca Maxted Assistant Producer: Linda Walker Editors: Tim Pemberton and Rajeev Gupta

Can a lone 24 year old Palestinian take on the Labour Party?That's what Leanne Mohamad is determined to do, campaigning as an independent candidate in the safe Labour seat of Ilford North at the upcoming general elections.It's no small feat - she's up against Wes Streeting, a senior party heavyweight and a man tapped by many as Keir Starmer's successor. So how can she take him on?Mohamad's no stranger to taking on the odds. When she was 15, a high school speech she gave on Palestinian rights went viral, unleashing a wave of angry and hateful reactions that prompted her school to take the video down.But the counterwave of support she received propelled her to become one of the most prominent activists speaking up for Gaza today - and the face of a grassroots political campaign to punish Labour for their support of Israel's military actions.This week on The Big Picture Podcast, we sit down with activist and political candidate Leanne Mohamad to talk about her Palestinian identity and how it's shaped who she is today, and why she wants to be a new voice in parliament.If she wins, it could prove that public anger over foreign policy can change politics, and more significantly, that the British Muslim voice is ready to be taken seriously.Subscribe and listen on all podcast platforms: https://thebigpicture.buzzsprout.com/We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.

Our favorite costume designer Isa joins us once again to review one of our all-time favorite series, Nida Manzoor's We Are Lady Parts, starring a British Muslim women punk band comprising of frontwoman Saira (Sarah Kameela Impey), lead guitarist Amina (Anjana Vasan), bassist Bisma (Faith Omole), drummer Ayesha (Juliette Motamed), and band manager Momtaz (Lucie Shorthouse). After finding mainstream success in Season 1, how does the band move up in Season 2? How will they remain true to themselves in the music industry that wants to control them? How will they contend with new Muslim bands on the scene like "Second Wife"? What were some of our favorite songs from this season? Why is Malala Yousafzai here? How was Nida Manzoor and her team able to masterfully incorporate so many rich stories in just six half-hour episodes? We need more of this amazing series and more like it!

Recording of the Academy of Ideas Education Forum discussion on 25 April 2024 in central London. ORIGINAL INTRODUCTION A High Court judgement hangs over Michaela Community School for banning ritual prayer. A Wakefield school suspended pupils for damaging a copy of the Quran. Two recent studies claim that faith schools select against poor and SEN children. Two thirds of the liberal Alliance Party in Northern Ireland want Catholic schools banned. Three years after showing pupils images of the Prophet Muhammad, a teacher in the north of England remains in hiding. It seems undeniable that schools are a new crucible for religious and social conflict. How do we navigate between tolerance and intolerance in these disputations? How does the right of faith communities to exercise their beliefs reconcile with established wider freedoms? Should the right to pray be available to all –  even in non-religious schools? Should we defend a parent's right to send their child to a faith school? Or is that tantamount to a defence of privilege? Have we lost sight of whether faith-based liberties impinge on secular freedoms or vice versa? Who are the liberals and illiberals here? ‘What kind of school environment could so easily be destroyed by one group of students publicly expressing their religion for a mere few minutes a day?', asks author and teacher Nadeine Asbali. She describes the ban on Muslims praying in school as ‘a dystopian, sinister vision of multiculturalism'. Yet commentator Tim Black thinks, ‘we are witnessing not quiet displays of faith, but loud all-too-visible assertions of Muslim identitarianism … with little to do with Islam'. Has tolerance become too abstract and impoverished to deal with concrete forms of cultural and religious difference?  What do you think: are our schools fighting an age-old battle between sacred and secular visions of society, or are they on the front line of a new culture war?  SPEAKERS Khadija Khan journalist and commentator Adam Eljadi Media Studies teacher, NEU workplace representative and British Muslim. He speaks here in a personal capacity. Gareth Sturdy former teacher and religious affairs journalist CHAIR Kevin Rooney teacher and Education Forum convenor

On today's #NCFNewspeak, NCF Director Peter Whittle, Senior Fellow Rafe Heydel-Mankoo and SDP London mayoral candidate Amy Gallagher discuss: * The Henry Jackson Society's poll into views and attitudes of British Muslims reveals the huge gulf that exists between them and the rest of British society, with a majority wanting to ban homosexuality and restrict freedom of speech. * Dr. Hilary Cass's long-awaited report into gender identity treatment at the NHS has finally been published and its findings are damning of all those who put vulnerable children on medical pathways to transition and encouraged them to take life altering medication and surgery. * Why does the Foreign Office hate Britain? Should the Foreign Office get rid of its historic "colonial paintings" and leave its magnificent London head quarters? --------------- SUBSCRIBE: If you are enjoying the show, please subscribe to our channel on YouTube (click the Subscribe Button underneath the video and then Click on the Bell icon next to it to make sure you Receive All Notifications) AUDIO: If you prefer Audio you can subscribe on iTunes or Soundcloud.

(0:54)How can Israel protect itself from Hamas without causing a catastrophe in Gaza? (10:55)Could every Jew or Muslim who has the potential for dual citizenship potentially be deprived of their citizenship if the government of the day decides they have committed a crime incompatible with British citizenship?

On the show this week, I'm talking to Nadeine Asabali about her book, Veiled Threat: On being visibly Muslim in Britain. In her book, Nadeine addresses the myriad of experiences of Muslim hijabi women, and the many different facets of racism, Islamaphobia and mysogigny experienced. Being a mixed raced child, with a Libyan father and a white English mother, Nadeine often passed as a white kid, until she started wearing the hijab and everything changed. In this episode, we talk all about her book, Islamaphobia, the pitfalls of white liberal feminism, the criminalisation of Muslim identity in Britain and so much more. Nadeine Asbali is a British Muslim writer and secondary school teacher living in east London. Growing up with an English mother and a Libyan father in an overwhelmingly white town and deciding to wear the hijab as a teenager are experiences that have shaped the trajectory of her life and her writing, forming the foundations of a freelance writing career that explores the themes of identity, social policy, racism and Islamophobia for national and international publications, including the i, The Guardian, theNew Arab and Glamour. Nadeine is also a Metro columnist and regularly writes about schools and education policy, specialising in how Muslim and ethnic minority pupils are represented by the British education system. I hope you find this episode insightful, interesting and enlightening.

How deep does racism run within the Labour Party?Since the start of the Gaza war, there's been a growing anger within British Muslim communities at Labour's perceived lack of leadership on the Palestinian issue, and on the calls for a ceasefire.Under Sir Keir Starmer, the opposition party has towed the government line, publicly supporting Israel's devastating war, despite the outcry of many Labour MPs - many who quit in protest.But some have remained to fight.This week on The Big Picture, we speak with Labour Party member and former Uxbridge candidate Ali Milani, who says he's ready to publicly challenge the way senior members of the party view Palestinians, and Muslims in general.We'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, and any guests you'd like us to have on our show.
