- Ongoing conflict between Palestinians and Israelis has resulted in a tragic loss of civilian lives on both sides. - Casualty statistics: Hamas's attack has caused 1200 killed, 2700 injured, and 125 hostages, while Israel's attack has led to 1537 killed (including 1/3 children) and 5184 wounded. Israeli forces have dropped 6000 bombs on Gaza. - According to the UN, Israeli bombing has destroyed 11 mosques, damaged 90 schools, and caused damage to 752 buildings, resulting in 280,000 Palestinians becoming homeless. - The root cause of the conflict is the decades of occupation and a blockade of Gaza Strip, which Western leaders are ignoring. - Palestinians face criticism regardless of their method of resistance: military resistance labels them as "terrorists," while verbal resistance makes them "provocateurs." - Despite recognizing Israel 30 years ago, the Palestinian Authority has seen communities evicted in the West Bank, new Israeli settlements, and 224 isolated West Bank ghettos. - In the West Bank, 248 Palestinians have been killed, and 5300 Palestinians are in Israeli jails, with 1260 of them held with no charge. - Israeli Defense Minister ordered a siege on Gaza Strip, leading to a humanitarian crisis, which the UN human rights chief denounced as prohibited under international law. - Canada is urged to uphold its commitment to international human rights and support the International Criminal Court's jurisprudence in Israel and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. - A call to action is made to visit the National Council of Canadian Muslims' website and send a letter to the Canadian government. - Peace cannot be achieved without addressing the root cause of the conflict, and the cycle of violence will continue if it remains unaddressed.

Collin May has a Master of Theological Studies degree from Harvard, a political philosophy degree from the Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales in Paris, and a law degree from Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada. While at Harvard, he studied the falisifa with the world's foremost expert on medieval Islamic philosophy, Dr. Muhsin Mahdi.On May 25, 2022, the Alberta government appointed him as the first openly gay man to serve as Chief of the Alberta Human Rights Commission and Tribunals. On September 15, 2022, he was fired by the Alberta government due to the demands of the National Council of Canadian Muslims.He was accused of ‘Islamophobia' by the NDP citing a 13 year old academic book review that Collin wrote for a book written by Middle East Historian Efraim Karsh. They claimed the book review was “racist, Islamophobic and hateful”. Under pressure from those wielding this semantic weapon ‘Islamophobia', the weak conservative provincial government fired him after only a few months in his new position.Join us to speak with Collin to learn the details of how this baseless and obviously politically motivated character assassination has entirely disrupted his life and his livelihood.

This week on rabble radio, rabble contributor Doreen Nicoll speaks to Katie Purdy, a drag performer in Oakville, Ontario. Purdy is on a mission to host more drag events in the Great Toronto Area.  Katie Purdy (or, as they're known in drag, Capt Danny Bailey) is a new face in the Canadian drag scene. Largely influenced by the style of Elton John, The Beatles, and Ninja Sex Party, Purdy's drag act is fluid – one performance may be drag king, next may be queen. Out of drag, Purdy identifies as a pansexual gender queer or "cis-ish" and does not care about labels.  Later this month, Purdy is hosting Take Me to the Drag Show! Learn more about this event below.  Take Me to the Drag Show!  When: February 18, 2023 (doors open at 7pm show starts at 8pm)  Where: Seasons Brasserie, downtown Oakville, Ont.  Hosted by local drag artist Capt Danny Bailey, featuring home town icon Adrianna Exposée, plus Toronto stars Krēme Inakuchi, and Tash Riot! Join us at the historic Seasons Brasserie for an evening of memorable drag numbers, and delicious hor d'oeuvres. Show will be 18+ due to the possibility of adult themes and profanities. Tipping the performers is encouraged. Tickets are available via ​​Eventbrite.  Join us for Off the Hill this month!  Black History Month is our lens for a dive into critical issues facing us in Canada this month.

Has anything changed since the June 6 2021 terror attack that saw the Afzaal family brutally murdered in London, Ontario? Are Canadian streets any safer today, one year on, for the visibly Muslim? Future lawyer and proud Marsh Iraqi Nur Al Ebeid joins us today to discuss. Nur is working toward her dual degree juris doctor from uOttawa and masters in international affairs from Carleton University. The daughter of refugees, Nur was born in London, ON — a small southwestern Ontario city near the U.S. border. Southern Iraq's marshlands, also known as the Mesopotamian marshes, are still considered by some to be the cradle of civilization. Nur's family were forced out of this region when Sadam Hussein drained these marshes in the 1990s, wiping out thousands of homes and countless wildlife. The original Garden of Eden was once found in this sacred region. Today these once lush, vast marshes are mostly desert. In this episode, we hear from Nur about her ancestors' way of life in الاهوار بلاد ما بين النهرين. We also discuss nationhood, belonging, #OurLondonFamily, Islamophobia, the fallout from bills 21 and 96 in Quebec, and the hate that too often spans generations in this country. ___________ Sources and further reading: Youth Coalition Combating Islamophobia (YCCI Canada) short film: To Yumnah, With Love Canadian political leaders vow to combat Islamophobia in vigil held for Muslim family killed (via Global News) National Council of Canadian Muslims on the Our London Family Act Feds seek special advisor to combat Islamophobia in Canada (via CTV News) Francophone Quebecers increasingly believe anglophone Canadians look down on them (via Policy Options) I was asked to apologize for my question in the leaders' debate.

Many people have an idealized vision of Canada as a gentle, kind and accepting society. However, last year, as a Muslim Canadian family took their evening stroll during lockdown in London, Ont., a white man rammed his pickup truck into them. Four of the five family members were killed.The incident sparked horror and outrage. But the truth of the matter is anti-Muslim sentiment has been on the steady rise in the 20 years since 9/11.According to a report from July 2021 by the National Council of Canadian Muslims, more Muslims have been killed in Canada in targeted attacks and hate crimes than in any other G7 country.Our guest today says that instead of deterring anti-Muslim hate, Canadian laws are actually making it worse - in essence, legalizing Islamophobia.Natasha Bakht is an award-winning legal scholar who has spent the past five years researching the rise in anti-Muslim attitudes in North America. She is a professor in the faculty of law at the University of Ottawa and the author of In Your Face: Law, Justice, and Niqab Wearing Women in Canada.In her book, Natasha explores the stories of niqab-wearing women who have faced discriminatory laws.Follow and listenListen to this episode — and subscribe to Don't Call Me Resilient — on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.We'd love to hear from you, including any ideas for future episodes.

In her new book Under Siege: Islamophobia and the 9/11 Generation (McGill-Queen's University Press, 2022) Jasmin Zine explores the experiences of Canadian Muslim youth as they navigate the landscape of Islamophobia, anti-Muslim racism, global war on terror, and the security industrial complex. By centering the voices of Muslim youth in Canada from the 9/11 generation, the study captures the complex nexus of oppressions experienced by Black and racialized Muslims as they navigate government policies of securitization, university campus culture, news media, and popular culture. Zine also examines how Muslim youth storytellers are creating intentional and resistant counterpublics through artistic and creative productions to disrupt reductive portrayal of Muslims in Canada. The book will be of interest to those who think and write about Islamophobia, Muslim youth, and Islam in Canada, but it will also be of interest to the general reader, particularly those who work in the civic and public sectors, such as educators.

In this episode I speak with comedian Moe Ismail. Moe is a Canadian Muslim who just went to Mecca on a pilgrimage for Umrah. Umrah is a pilgrimage that Muslims do where they travel to Mecca in Saudi Arabia. Moe explains the rituals and historical significance of the places he visited. Moe tells us about the profound experiences he experienced he experienced when he walked around Kaaba (most sacred place in Islam). He describes the overwhelming feeling of being around people from all round the world coming to one place for one purpose. He also shares his story of going and visiting Muhammad's grave in Medina and the completely different feelings he had there.Moe shares the different transformations this trip helped spark in him. We talk and compare those transformations to other spiritual transformations we have had in our life and from other peoples stories in different traditions or practices.

With Aadil Nathani of Green Ummah Where can you find passages about respecting nature in the Quran? How does environmentalism fit into the Five Pillars of Islam? Why is it so important to focus on solutions to our various environmental challenges? Where does all of this fit into environmental education? Aadil Nathani, one of the co-founders of Green Ummah, joined us to discuss these questions, lead listeners through a sample lesson from the Green Ummah Curriculum on environmental racism, and share some tips for making Ramadan more green. Aadil also shared his insights on how Muslim and non-Muslim folks can collaborate on a shared vision toward a greener and more just present and future. Guest (from greenummah.org): Aadil Nathani is a graduate of the University of Toronto (Hons. B.A.) and University of Windsor - Faculty of Law (J.D). He is currently working as a lawyer for the City of Windsor. While at Windsor Law, Aadil was involved in a collaborative project focused on municipal solutions to climate change. This experience encouraged Aadil to think about the urgent need to address climate change on different fronts, the responsibility that we each have to take care of the planet, and the deeply-rooted impacts of environmental racism. Aadil co-founded Green Ummah with the hope that it can serve as a conduit between the Muslim community and the environmental (and environmental justice) movements in Canada and beyond. Green Ummah is a grassroots organization that seeks to create an environmental and environmental justice movement in the Canadian Muslim community. Our goal is to plant seeds for conversation about the responsibility of the Muslim community towards a healthy equitable planet.

This week we sit down with one of the most intelligent people we know. Rizwaan Abbas: Archaeologist, friend, and all around cool guy! Yes, you read that right, we said archaeologist. If it wasn't for his exhibit we never would have met our new brood. On this episode we talk about how the hell his dad went from Fiji to freaking Sparwood, B.C. of all places! He tells us about growing up in a small town of 5,000 and the shock of coming to live in the city of Surrey. Currently an Archaeologist for Semiamhoo First Nation, we get into why he chose this path and what prompted him to create his exhibit, “The Indo-Fijians: Surrey's Pocket of Paradise” at the Museum of Surrey in British Columbia, Canada.

Today's episode is with Alberta Leader, Dr. Muna Saleh. In this conversation, I speak with Muna about our stories as mothers, women, and educators. You will learn about the danger of the single story and how—as individuals—we might try to categorize ourselves and others into one box. Dr. Saleh shares with us how she intentionally disrupts this single story narrative, whether it's through her research, her interaction with her students, or using humour on her Twitter feed.We also speak to difficult stories. And why it's so important as adults not to minimize difficult conversations with our children or students. But at the same time, we must provide a way forward with our stories, we must provide an element of hope and action. Finally, Dr. Saleh speaks to stories that have been planted within us, and that grow within us, often without our knowing. Narratives such as being the "good" mother, the "good" daughter, the "good" teacher. And how we can recognize them and—with the support of other women—re-story our own personal narratives.About Dr. Muna Saleh:Dr. Muna Saleh is an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Education at Concordia University of Edmonton. Drawing upon her experiences as a Canadian Muslim woman, mother, educator, and researcher, Muna's doctoral research was a narrative inquiry into the experiences of Canadian Muslim girls and their mothers. Prior to graduate studies, she was an elementary and secondary school teacher and leader. Her research interests include multiperspectival narrative inquiry, mothering and motherhood, conceptions of curriculum, familial curriculum-making, and research alongside children and youth with disabilities and their families. She is the authour of, "Stories We Live and Grow By: (Re)Telling Our Experiences as Muslim Mothers and Daughters."  Dr. Muna Saleh is a mother, wife, daughter, writer, researcher and advocate.

How can Muslim scholars be charging money for teaching Islamic knowledge to our community? Are Muslim organizations profiting off of Islam? Today we will be talking about the resistance present in our Muslim community towards monetizing Islamic knowledge.  On the other hand, we want to discuss: How can we support our Muslim scholars and students of knowledge in their journey of propagating Islam and sustaining their livelihood? Can we hold our Muslim institutions accountable for monetizing Islamic knowledge?  Thank you for listening.

 We've all seen what self-care looks like on social media. We see Self-care through the lens of spas, and hair salons, shopping trips, and pretty drinks. Everything carries this tone of positivity that can become toxic. This view leads us to push down our feelings of overwhelm or stress instead of doing the hard work of taking care of our mental and physical health. If we look at another aspect, we are regularly told that we should be great full and say Alhamdulillah when the problem is not gratitude. It's stress, depression, anxiety, and feeling overwhelmed because of the emotional workload we have as women. How do we change this collectively so that our mindset, life expectations, and outlook are better? We hope you've enjoyed this episode.

This summer and continuing even today, protests continue about police brutality and institutional racism. Many people in our community have decided to remain silent or deny that we have these same issues happening in the Muslim community. In this episode, we discuss why our masjids and organizations limit their efforts to just PR letters with no substantial changes?  We need to make online and offline to create real allyship and not only performance allyship. Thank you for listening don't forget to leave a review and subscribe and connect with us on Instagram @themusimintheroom
