Podcast appearances and mentions of Moazzam Begg

Moazzam Begg was born in the suburbs of Birmingham in 1968, grew up in Moseley, and holds dual UK-Pakistani citizenship. During his secondary education, Begg became a member of the Birmingham Lynx street gang, which was formed to combat persecution by far-right anti-immigrant groups. Begg attended Solihull College and then the University of Wolverhampton, where he studied Law for two years before dropping out.Begg became interested in Islam during a family vacation to Saudi Arabia and Pakistan in his late teens. He returned to Pakistan in late 1993 and decided to cross the Pakistan–Afghan border to go to a camp where US-backed nationalist and Islamic insurgents were training to fight the Soviet-backed Afghan government. Begg admitted that he travelled to Bosnia in the early 1990s to support Muslims during the war after being inspired by the “mujahideen's” dedication. He stated that he was “terrified by some of the reports... of the horrors taking place there.” In 1994, he joined a foundation that dealt with Bosnian Muslims. Begg also attempted to visit Chechnya during its battle with Russia in the early 1990s. While he believed that “fighting wasn't out of the question,” he claims that he did not take part in the armed battle but did provide financial aid to foreign militants. At the time of his arrest in 1994, anti-terrorist police allegedly discovered night vision goggles, a flak jacket, and “extreme Islamist literature” in his residence. Begg argued that the goggles and flak jacket were from his charity work in Bosnia and Chechnya, and he denied having any “extremist Islamist material.” Begg, according to his father, has been collecting military memorials as a passion since childhood.According to the Pentagon, Begg received extensive training at three al-Qaeda-affiliated terrorist camps. Begg was identified as a “member of al-Qaeda and affiliated organisations” who was "engaged in hostilities against the United States and its coalition partners” in Afghanistan and “provided support to al-Qaeda terrorists, by providing shelter for their families,” according to the statement. Begg rejected all of these allegations, claiming that he “never planned, assisted, or participated in any assaults on Westerners.”

Join our Patreon to get access to exclusive monthly calls: https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimThis episode was filmed on Saturday, before Damascus fell.The Syrian revolution began in 2011 as a grassroots, civil society uprising against one of the most tyrannical rulers in the Muslim World. Bashar al-Assad like his father before him, presided over a state of terror, with disappearances, secret police repression and a punitive state machinery that governed through fear. Assad styled himself as an anti-imperialist when in reality he had colluded with the West in past conflicts and after 9/11 Syria became a favourite place for the Americans to render suspects for horrific torture.Today we have Moazzam Begg who is the senior director of CAGE and author of enemy combatant – a book about his time as a detainee first in Bagram and then in Guantanamo. He also spent time in Syria during the revolution, as part of his investigation into the Assad regimes complicity in the CIA torture programme.Let me remind all viewers that to help us continue to engage critical thought at this time, Please consider becoming a Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimYou can also support The Thinking Muslim through a one-time donation: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/DonateListen to the audio version of the podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636aApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.comPurchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merchFind us on:Patron. https://www.patreon.com/TheThinkingMuslimTwitter: https://twitter.com/thinking_muslimFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslimHost: https://twitter.com/jalalaynWebsite Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.comTimestamps:0:00 - Introduction1:41 – Assad anti-imperialist?7:07 – Syria's torture campaign12:42 – The Left on Syria16:24 – Why dismiss Syrians?19:05 – Russia 22:48 – The opposition27:33 – ISIS vs Opposition 31:59 – Post-Assad Syria34:36 – Minorities 36:40 – Assad against Israel?39:17 – Palestinian resistance on Syria42:48 – Islamic activism 45:26 – Will we be able to visit Syria Hosted on Acast.

On today's show, I'm talking to Suhaiymah Manzoor Khan about her latest book, Seeing For Ourselves: And even stranger possibilities. Suhaiymah is one of the most thoughtful, intelligent and intro-spective people I know, and I absolutely love all the work she is doing and what she puts out into the world. Seeing For Ourselves feels quite different to Suhaiymah's other books, and offers more personal reflections on identity, faith, belonging, grief, love and activism. In her book, Suhaiymah encourages us to move beyond the white western gaze, and focus on the only gaze that really matters: that of Allah. Its such a powerful little book, forcing us to rethink our values, ideas and intentions, and encouraging us to embrace our true authentic selves, away from the gazes upon us. Suhaiymah Manzoor-Khan is a writer, poet and educator disrupting understandings of history, race, knowledge and violence. She works to equip herself and others with the tools and faith to resist the unliveable conditions we find ourselves in, and work towards another reality.Suhaiymah's latest book, Seeing for Ourselves: And even stranger possibilities came out with Hajar Press in September 2023. Prior to this she authored Tangled in Terror: Uprooting Islamophobia (Pluto Press, 2022) which was widely endorsed by the likes of Lowkey, Moazzam Begg, Fatima Manji, Lola Olufemi and more.I really hope you enjoy this episode.

He urges EU governments to take action to end this deplorable situation.And our last speaker is Moazzam Begg, former Guantánamo Bay detainee, who shares some of the horrors he witnessed and explains the prisoners' deep pain and trauma from being cut off from their families for years.

The Western propaganda machine is in full motion. Israel, aided by the west are conditioning western public opinion for the effective expunging of Gaza from the map. This slow, steady war machine is exceptionalising Palestinian violence, real or concocted, to further its aims. This is the Iraq war all over again. To help us understand this subtle propaganda machine it is a pleasure to have Moazzam Begg on the show.

Ansari Podcast: Author and Activist Moazzam Begg reveals what happened when he was Kidnapped, tortured, and sent to Guantanamo Bay and Bagram by the CIA and MI6 over false intelligence, Moazzam Begg narrates the heart breaking years he spent kidnapped and falsely imprisoned in the worlds most notorious prisons. He answers tough questions like whether he conspired against the United States, what he saw in Bagram and Guantanamo. How Islam helped him through it all, and many other details. Is he an ISIS Supporter. Only at The Ansari Podcast.

The war on terror, a US-led strategy that saw deadly interventions in the Muslim world, has transformed a generation of Muslims. Some, like my guest today, unwittingly got caught up in this mindless campaign and 21 years after the events of 9/11, we still feel the aftereffects of programmes that placed every Muslim in categories, moderate or extreme, good and bad, loyal or disloyal. Moazzam Begg, a former Guantanamo detainee upon his release, has been a tireless campaigner for the truth, exposing its lies and deceits. In the process, he and his organisation CAGE international have tactically contacted non-Muslim sympathisers and wider Human Rights organisations. But I asked him about the risks involved in this strategy. Many a time, Muslims that receive such support are forced to compromise. The left wants Islam to change and come with various social positions we find problematic. The right often possesses a chauvinism that calls upon Muslims to accept a secondary role in society. I ask Moazzam to conceptualise how he navigates these binaries.

Probably the most powerful interview we have recorded to date. Islamophobia is real and many Muslims face the guantlet of hate every day simply because of the way they look and because of their faith. In this episode I am joined by a former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg who is now the Outreach Director for CAGE UK. Moazzam provides an excellent insight into some of the deeper issues behind Islamophobia. Feel free to share this episode as we want to share the love and break down the often fake and hostile narrative perpetuated by many parts of our media and the politicians.

An ex-Guantanamo prisoner and the Director of Outreach at CAGE says as the anniversary of 9/11 attacks draw close, every invasion the US has undertaken since that fateful day has brought the Taliban closer to victory and back into power. Moazzam Begg was speaking to Radio Islam about the Taliban seizing power from the Western backed Afghan government and the withdrawal of US forces from country after more than twenty years of occupation.

Moazzam Begg, Outreach Director Cage UK and Former Detainee at Guantanamo Bay Prison speaks about the Documentary 'The Mauritanian'.

If you want to see a film that simultaneously depicts the horrors of man's excessive barbarism but also the indominable spirit of human resilience, you have to watch The Mauritanian. Set in the legally dubious post-9/11 world, it tells the gripping story of Mohamedou Ould Slahi and his rendition to the infamous ex-Soviet airbase, Bagram in Afghanistan and then Guantanamo Bey. Slahi was falsely accused of links to Al-Qaeda and without recourse to due process, international treaties and conventions and the so-called cherished principles of the US constitution, he ended up spending 14-long years in Camp X-ray. Yet the power of the human spirit and his Islamic convictions prevailed and he returned to his home country of Mauritania, exonerated of any wrongdoing. But the film left many unanswered questions. We invited Moazzam Begg from the campaigning group CageUK, also a former Guantanamo prisoner, to talk about the film, his relationship with Slahi and to put into context the geopolitical and legal issues that led to what some describe as a scar on American democracy.

In this insightful episode of the Blood Brothers podcast, Dilly Hussain speaks with the Outreach Director of advocacy group CAGE and former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg. #BloodBrothersPodcast​ #MoazzamBegg​ #Syria​ This entire podcast is dedicated to analysing the Syrian conflict since its inception in 2011 and how the balance of power has drastically shifted from the Sunni rebels to the Assad regime. In light of the death of ISIS leader Abu Bakr Al-Baghdadi earlier this month, Moazzam explains why the Syrian revolution remains a blessed struggle, and how the resistance has endured a military bombardment and betrayal from global superpowers and their regional proxies. Topics of discussion also include Moazzam's incarceration in February 2014 over “Syria-related terrorism activities” for which he was released without charge, how the Syrian conflict has affected anti-terrorism laws in the UK, and why Muslim scholars in the West have either become silent regarding Syria or are intentionally ignoring the ongoing plight of Syrians.

CAGE Research Director Dr Asim Qureshi interviews his colleague and former Guantanamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg about the ways in which political detainees held at Guantanamo Bay would navigate their commitments to their faith.

Twenty years ago, the then UK Labour government led by Prime Minister Tony Blair introduced anti-terror laws that, in time, would expand the British security state. The raft of terrorism legislation that came as a result, have impacted the Muslim community and refashioned our relationship with institutions of government and the way we are perceived by wider society. Our guest today, Moazzam Begg from CAGE UK, is a brother that took a stand and through his public engagements gives hope to believers, presenting an unfiltered Islam, uncompromised by state patronage.

Starting off our trip down memory lane, this amazing talk aimed to empower Muslim students with knowledge they might not have been aware of and equipped them with an understanding of how to deal with the ever prevalent "Islamophobia industry". Moazzam Begg was a prisoner at Guantanamo Bay after he was wrongly accused. In this take, he gave his personal story, as well as advice on how to tackle Islamophobia.

Efter 9/11 vill USA förhindra nya terrordåd. De låser in människor på Guantánamo utan rättegång och inför kontroversiella förhörsmetoder. Något som får andra stater att anklaga USA för krigsbrott. Den elfte september 2001 ser människor världen över på tevebilder hur nästan 3000 människor dör i den dödligaste terrorattacken i modern tid. I USA ges presidenten rätt att använda allt nödvändigt våld mot de som planerat, utfört eller hjälpt till i attackerna.  Det kommer inte ta slut förrän varje global terroristgrupp har hittats, stoppats och besegrats säger USA:s dåvarande president George W Bush när han förklarar krig mot terrorismen, 2001. Några månader senare anländer de första fångarna till USA:s militärbas på Kuba, Guantánamo. I jakten på de skyldiga al-Qaida-medlemmarna och de som misstänks sympatisera med al-Qaida sanktioneras allt hårdare metoder. Och andra stater och människorättsorganisationer kommer att anklaga USA för krigsbrott. Det finns en nivå av rädsla där du känna smaken av den, säger Mohamedou Ould Salahi som betraktades som en av USA:s viktigaste fångar på Guantánamo där han satt i femton år. Medverkande: Mohamedou Ould Salahi, före detta Guantánamofånge. Moazzam Begg, före detta Guantánamofånge. Nancy Hollander, advokat.

Two men, one a British citizen of Pakistani heritage, and the other a former housing police officer in the Boston area, were unlikely to meet, until the terror attacks of September 11th, 2001. But after the Bush Administration launched the War on Terror, Moazzam Begg was detained and held at the U.S. Detention Camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba where Albert Melise was a guard. You can’t get much more Us & Them than that. We’re rebroadcasting this episode, which was recently honored with a first place award for Long Documentary by the Public Media Journalists Association.

Moazzam Begg, a British citizen of Pakistani heritage, and Albert Melise, a former housing police officer in the Boston area, were unlikely to have their life stories intersect and become friends; but then September 11 happened. After the Bush Administration launched the War on Terror, Begg was detained and held at the U.S. Detention Camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Melise was a Gitmo guard. You can’t get much more Us & Them than that.

In a wide-ranging conversation about their work with CAGE, Moazzam Begg & Muhammad Rabbani talk to post-doc researcher Kevin Hearty about PREVENT, schedule 7, civil sanctions, anti-terrorism laws, and Islamic ideas of justice.

In a wide-ranging conversation about their work with CAGE, Moazzam Begg & Muhammad Rabbani talk to post-doc researcher Kevin Hearty about PREVENT, schedule 7, civil sanctions, anti-terrorism laws, and Islamic ideas of justice.

As promised, we are posting some additional segments from our last episode, My Friend From Camp that we just couldn’t fit in. If you haven’t heard that episode yet, by all means, head over to your Us and Them feed and have a listen to that one first. These segments will make a whole lot more sense once you’ve heard the full episode. Former Guantanamo detainee Moazzam Begg about the meaning of the term jihad. Former Guantanamo MP Albert Melise explains why he wanted to re-enlist and go back to the island. Andrea Pitzer, journalist and author of One Long Night: A Global History of Concentration Camps, on whether or not she thinks the United States will ever face up to what was done at Guantanamo Bay and black sites around the world.

Moazzam Begg, a British citizen of Pakistani heritage, and Albert Melise, a former housing police officer in the Boston area, were unlikely to have their life stories intersect and become friends; but then September 11 happened. After the Bush Administration launched the War on Terror, Begg was detained and held at the U.S. Detention Camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Melise was a Gitmo guard. You can’t get much more Us & Them than that.

Moazzam Begg is a former innocent Guantanamo Bay prisoner who was never convicted of any crime. Today, Moazzam is an advocate for the rights of those unjustly held at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere. FULL EPISODE:  https://londonreal.tv/e/moazzam-begg/

Hardtalk speaks to the British Muslim campaigner Moazzam Begg. He was detained at Guantanamo Bay between 2003 and 2005, and then last February he was held for seven months in a British prison. In October all terrorism-related charges against him were dropped and he walked free. He believes that current counter-terrorism measures are fuelling the very problems they are trying to tackle and are alienating and radicalising some Muslims. So how should Muslim communities work with the authorities to prevent the extremists carrying out attacks?(Photo: Moazzam Begg. Credit: Rob Stothard/Getty Images)

Moazzam Begg describes his journey, from his kidnap & incarceration, to his eventual release. This recording (dated December 2013) was made in Johannesburg, during Moazzam's last trip abroad.
