Sargon of Akkad has been banned from accessing his YouTube account along with several other conservative hosts. Sargon explains he's never been warned for breaking policy, so this ban was unexpected. Madeline Weld once considered a centrist with “left values”, has now been labeled by some as a right-wing radical. She discusses various topics from Trump's election to hiring quotas for minorities, from a humanist standpoint. Women in Syria are being sexually exploited when they reach out to humanitarian groups for assistance. Their abuse was reported in 2015 but went ignored. A church in Pennsylvania caused a local elementary school to close for a day, so the members could bring their AR-15's. Women wore white, like brides, and almost everyone wore a crown or tiara while they drank “holy wine” and had their guns blessed. As an update to last week's news on the kidnapping of Dapchi students, no one has been rescued and over 100 girls are still missing. There have been misleading reports on this topic. Mashal Khan was brutally beaten, tortured, and shot last year after false accusations were made about him being blasphemous. 25 of the men convicted for their crimes have had their sentences suspended. The Innocence Project freed two men falsely convicted of murder. They were singled out by authorities due to Satanic allegations and spent over 20 years in jail. People in New Zealand are turning away from religion in droves, according to census results. A study conducted in 13 countries showed that the majority of New Zealand occupants were less prejudice against atheists. “Manspreading” has made the news in Iran after a female member of government posted a variety of images depicting men harassing women. Commenters on the post reminded everyone that harassing women has a punishment under Islamic law. Women are now allowed to join the military in Saudi Arabia, not as soldiers, but as security personnel. They continue to work on improving women's rights.

What drives a mob to climb several flights of stairs, break down a dormitory door and kill the young man inside? Secunder Kermani pieces together the last hours of Mashal Khan, the undergraduate beaten to death by vigilantes in April, 2017.It happened in the small city of Mardan, set on a fertile plain below mountains that form part of the border with Afghanistan. Until recently, this part of Pakistan was officially known as a “frontier”.Here, as in the rest of this huge Muslim country, blasphemy is a crime. And if the police won't enforce the law, there's a code. “If you have to kill someone as a punishment, do it in such a way that all connections to his brain are disconnected and there is no pain,” one local politician explained. “Just bury him afterwards.”Mashal Khan was not so lucky. His slow, painful death and subsequent mutilation was captured on mobile phones. The shocking footage spread quickly and reignited the controversy over Pakistan's strict blasphemy laws.There have been rallies in support of the victim's family. His grave is blanketed in tinsel and flowers from sympathisers. But there've been rallies for the alleged killers as well.The BBC's Secunder Kermani is based in Pakistan and has gone to meet the families and friends on both sides of this story and asks, Who was Mashal Khan? And why did he die?
A nightmare ferry journey in The Gambia, a musical metro ride under East Berlin and a Shakespearean train journey in Russia. Kate Adie introduces correspondents' stories. In Pakistan, Secunder Kermani explores why the university student Mashal Khan, who was accused of blasphemy, ended up beaten to death by an angry mob on campus. In The Gambia, Shaimaa Khalil makes the long and arduous commute across the River Gambia. The ferries – which are often over-crowed and much delayed - are the only way for many people to reach the capital Banjul. As Brexit negotiations continue, Kevin Connolly recalls his first trip to ‘The Continent‘ in the year that Britain joined what was to become the European Union. In Russian, Kirsty Lang finds that cultural ties to Britain remain strong, despite souring diplomatic relations. And despite attempts to keep Western music out of East Germany during the Cold War, Chris Bowlby discovers that, in strange locations and in free minds, many refused to dance to the communist tune.
This episode is a little dated, but its good because we now get to reflect and reflection is a powerful emotion. This episode explores the value of literature, books, and the need for events like literary festivals, bookmela and other such occurrences. It also talks about the importance of Urdu, and how we have lost it. Argues for making Urdu personal again. It also reflects on the grave incident of Mashal Khan, and argues for the need for open spaces where multitude of Pakistani identity can co-exist in a patient and accepting environment.
This episode I’m joined by Pakistani Journalist Saqib Tanveer (@saqibtanveer), who recently wrote a controversial piece, about the lynching of a Pakistani student over allegations of blasphemy. His piece was removed by the publication that published it initially (The News). (Pls note this episode was recorded a couple of weeks ago, so the arrests made in Mashal Khan’s murder were not discussed. And pls excuse the buzzing sound on Saqib’s end…If I remember Pakistan, that’s gotta be a rusty fan or something.) Here’s a screenshot of the text we refer to throughout https://twitter.com/SaqibTanveer/status/855686726559309824 - I recommend you read this first. Its just a short paragraph. Soon after the Mashal Khan lynching (a horrific incident where a humanist student was accused of blasphemy and murdered by a furious religious mob) many Pakistani journalists, public figures & politicians were intent on 'clearing' Mashal’s name. Proving him to be a pious person who respected the religion. I wrote a blog post http://nicemangos.blogspot.ca/2017/04/the-beast-of-blasphemy-takes-another.html?zx=a05fba0110d35249 , lamenting the fact that this was even necessary or relevant…but I understood the desire to calm the toxic Islamic extremist sentiment that was still thick in the air after Mashal’s unjust murder. As a non-believer myself, obviously I think blasphemy should not at all be a crime, this is a law that doesn’t belong in this century. I have often stated that the government of Pakistan contributes to this dangerous climate where vigilante murders for ‘blasphemy’ occur on the regular by legitimizing it as a crime in the first place. Even politicians who have dared to question the existence of this blasphemy law have been murdered. Right wing preachers have been accused…it’s an Orwellian tool to police people’s thoughts. In the previous episode I interviewed prominent, liberal-secular Pakistani journalist Raza Rumi who survived an Islamist attack. We had a lovely, civil discussion…where he gave me such hope for the future of Pakistan. However, today’s conversation is in stark contrast to the intellectually stimulating discussion I had last episode. Today’s Pakistani journalist is pro blasphemy law, pro blasphemy punishment, as he considers it to be ’the law of the land…which must be upheld'…. This is a frustrating, yet entertaining roller coaster of a conversation that takes many twists and turns in attempts to deny the obvious flaws with punishing people for ‘blasphemy’. —— Here are some links for further reading, on topics discussed in the episode: About the influence of Wahhabism in Pakistan: http://www.newstatesman.com/world-affairs/2014/11/wahhabism-isis-how-saudi-arabia-exported-main-source-global-terrorism http://www.huffingtonpost.com/haroon-khalid/the-influence-of-wahhabism-in-pakistan_b_11329322.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/jan/15/islam-pakistan-barelvi-saudi-wahhabi Mashal Khan story: http://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-asia-39603126/pakistan-blasphemy-the-student-lynched-for-being-a-humanist Governor Salman Taseer shot by his guard Mumtaz Qadri for questioning blasphemy law : http://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-35684452 Mumtaz Qadri murder celebrated and funeral attended by over 100, 000 https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/01/funeral-pakistani-mumtaz-qadri-executed-salmaan-taseer Pakistan literacy rate http://ilm.com.pk/pakistan/pakistan-information/pakistan-literacy-rate/ ---- If you enjoy this show, pls help it grow by supporting via Patreon https://www.patreon.com/nicemangos
This episode, I’ve got prominent Pakistani journalist and TV anchor Raza Rumi (@RazaRumi). He was attacked by gunmen in 2014 for being an outspoken critic of the Taliban and just islamism in general. https://www.dawn.com/news/1096198 Luckily he survived, and continues to speak out about the threat journalists face today. An incredibly brave man pushing for change in a society very resistant to it. He’s had to leave Pakistan for the time being, and currently lives in the US. I find it painful to think that terrorists get to dictate people’s lives like this, uproot them, scare them, separate them from their families and friends…but I am thankful that people like Raza continue to speak up. Even with bloody and brutal attacks, they didn’t succeed in silencing him. However increasing far right sentiment in the US definitely puts him off. We chat about all this and more. As a Liberal practising muslim, of course Raza has some pretty fundamental disagreements with me about religion in general. and that’s ok! In fact I think critics of Islam now really need to build bridges with liberal and secular Muslims to have their criticisms resonate at all, especially in a time where the risk of polarization is so great and in a climate where the far right is quickly alienating all people of Muslim background. There’s also a misconception...I think, that vocal atheists like myself, won’t acknowledge other contributing factors to religious fundamentalism. So he really tried to drive that home…but I do acknowledge all the geopolitical & social factors that have an impact on increasing the toxicity of religion. I don’t think many sensible non-religious people would deny that yes foreign policy, history, poverty, lack of education all play a role. However the reverse issue is one that is often denied by adherents of religion…that religion itself is a factor. We tussle politely a bit about whether scripture is ‘twisted’ or simply provides the raw material for such interpretations. Anyway, hopefully at some stage we can get together again and schedule a proper discussion based on scripture. This chat was focused on the blasphemy law in Pakistan, the climate contributing to it.. and the recent Mashal Khan lynching in Pakistan, over blasphemy accusations. Mashal was a young student who described himself as a humanist. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/apr/26/lynching-of-a-student-sparks-uproar-in-pakistan-against-blasphemy-laws Other stories we discussed: Preacher being accused of blasphemy: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2014/dec/04/pakistani-preacher-junaid-jamshed-blasphemy-accusations Governor killed for questioning blasphemy law: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/01/05/world/asia/05pakistan.html Governer’s Murderer celebrated, thousands attend his funeral: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2016/mar/01/funeral-pakistani-mumtaz-qadri-executed-salmaan-taseer Please note: this episode was recorded a few weeks ago, so recent news regarding Mashal Khan’s killer, etc was not discussed.
