Full Hour | Dom Giordano, WPHT host and former teacher, has dedicated much of his daily show toward parents who are taking it into their own hands to push back against school boards that have a negative impact on their children. This has culminated in a weekly podcast on education, Readin', Writin', and Reason, which has allowed wonderful relationships to develop between Giordano, educators, and parents throughout the country who are speaking out against overbearing school boards. First ,Dom welcomes in Monique Hofkin, a member of the Central Bucks School District, on to discuss a complaint she filed for multiple anonymous parents with the U.S. Department of Education over a Spanish teacher for Central Bucks West who head's their Muslim Student Association. Hofkin tells us what concerned the parents, offering glimpses onto the teacher's social media postings which call, among other things, the death of Jews.  Then, Dom continues by welcoming Guy Ciarrocchi back on to discuss a piece he penned for Broad and Liberty concerning the teacher's union stranglehold on the debate over school choice. Giordano notes the thirst from voters on both sides of the aisle for the allowance to choose where to school their children, with Ciarrocchi explaining why Democratic politicians, even ones who campaign on school choice such as Josh Shapiro, never follow through on their promises.  

Full Hour | In today's second hour, Dom continues the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the ongoing Trump trial, with Stormy Daniels testifying about alleged hush money payments. Dom plays back audio from Donald Trump speaking out about the gag rulings, where the former President says he's ready to go to jail over the unconstitutionality of the order. Then, Dom continues the show by playing back a TikToker who tried arguing that student loan forgiveness would not affect taxpayers, which launches a passionate debate between Dom and his producer as to how conservatives should frame the issue. Then, Dom welcomes in Monique Hofkin, a member of the Central Bucks School District, onto the Dom Giordano Program to discuss a complaint she filed for multiple anonymous parents with the U.S. Department of Education over a Spanish teacher for Central Bucks West who head's their Muslim Student Association.

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by offering his continued thoughts on the situation developing in Israel as Palestinian Hamas. Dom begins calling out his Alma Mater, La Salle University, where a statement was released by the Muslim Student Association justifying the terroristic actions by Hamas, placing blame on Israel for the death of their own citizens. Dom takes calls throughout the first portion of the show discussing this disgusting statement, including one Pro-Palestinian caller who tries to argue that the War is built upon fake news. Then, Dom welcomes Dr. Marty Makary, author of The Price We Pay: What Broke American Healthcare and How to Fix It and strong Dr. Anthony Fauci critic, back onto the Dom Giordano Program. First, before hearing updates centered around Coronavirus, Dom asks about a situation that unfolded on the campus of UPenn, exploiting the arrogance of the decision-making of Universities and the scientific community.

The month of Ramadan is a time of prayer, charity and reflection for Maryland's many Muslim communities. Traditional observance sees daily fasting, prayer and an evening breaking of fast—a meal called iftar. Imam Yaseen Shaikh is Lead Resident Scholar and Head of Community Affairs at the Islamic Society of Baltimore. The ISB serves thousands of Muslims in the Baltimore area. Imam Shaikh often works as a bridge between Muslim families and school administrators to help ensure children receive the accommodations they need to learn. In Maryland universities and colleges, student are asking for an expansion of religious accommodations on campus. Student leaders of various faiths say the rules governing excused absences for religious observance are unclear and vary professor to professor. For Muslim students, Ramadan can be an especially challenging time as they juggle daily observance and fasting with class time and homework assignments. Hassan Ansari, president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, and Safiullah Rifai, president of the Muslim Student Association at the University of Maryland-College Park, join us to discuss working for better accommodations, and what its like to be religious among the increasingly non-religious student body.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Fifteen-year-old Rahma Mohamud is in the cafeteria of her high school in Columbia Heights. It's lunchtime, the room is full of classmates and it smells like the nachos that are being served for a meal. But Rahma isn't eating right now. She's standing in front of a table piled with colorful scarves. It's World Hijab Day, and Mohamud and her friends from her school's Muslim Student Association have set up a booth to give their non-hijab-wearing classmates a chance to ask questions.“I feel some of the students who don't wear it don't really know what it is. They just see it and I feel like they might have questions but may be too shy to come up without seeming ignorant,” Mohamud said. “Today is just a day where everybody can just learn what it is, get questions that might be uncomfortable to them out of the way and just bring our community closer.” Mohamud has been wearing a hijab since kindergarten. Today her hijab is black — her favorite color — and it's made out of jersey. It's just easy to throw on, she said, and she likes that it stays in place easier than chiffon. She's also wearing a black abaya — a full-length dress, which she also loves — it's an easy, instant outfit. Click here.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kvjAgm8LYIMBut she wants her classmates to know how important the hijab is for her. “Hijab is something that's a choice. A lot of people when they talk about the hijab, they try to make it seem like it's something that's forced on Muslim women, but in reality, it's our own choice,” Mohamud said. “It's something that it might not be beautiful to some, but to us we feel like it's a beautiful choice to make and modesty is beautiful in our eyes.”While Mohamud is talking, a few students wander over from their tables to take a look at the booth. There's a mirror set up at the table and one of Mohamud's friends offers the girl, Lydia Kennedy, who's a senior, a chance to try a hijab on. “I guess it's World Hijab Day, so we came over to ask some questions — we were a little bit curious about the hijab,” Kennedy said. “I asked if there's a certain age you have to start wearing it, and they said, no, it can kind of be whenever you want.” The hijab booth was an idea thought up by members of Columbia Height's Muslim Student Association. Rehab Diriye, a senior, is the group's president. After the initial months of the pandemic, when she returned to in-person classes, she noticed her Muslim classmates were doing their daily prayers in random corners of the school. So she talked to other students and staff at the school, and she set up a prayer room, complete with rugs. “We just really wanted to unite the school and specifically the Muslim population and I think we accomplished that last year with events like a Ramadan event and culture night and we hope to continue that,” Diriye said.  This is the first year they've been able to put on the hijab day event. Diriye hopes she's able to communicate what it means to her to wear a hijab.“I love seeing other Muslim women and being identifiably Muslim. It's just a great feeling to say ‘Salaam Alaikum,' and then being able to recognize you as Muslim,” Diriye said. “Obviously there are downsides of that in terms of like, violence, thankfully I haven't been through any of those experiences.” Diriye said wearing a hijab is something that also has an effect on her Muslim friends. “I like making other Muslim women feel comfortable just by my presence and just because I wear hijab.”

In Season 9: Episode 8 of Beach Weekly, we are looking at the biggest headlines on the Long Beach State's and from around the world. The Muslim Student Association at Long Beach state is seeing growth in its membership, being just one example of how young American Muslims are one of the fastest growing populations in the U.S. However, leaders of the Muslim Student Association noted that despite the growth of their organization, they continue to feel judgement and discrimination from others. Former Daily Forty-Niner journalist, Pablo Unzueta, won a $90,000 settlement from the LA County Sheriff's Department last week. Unzueta filed the lawsuit in September 2020, after being arrested while photographing the protest of a Black man who was killed by Los Angeles law enforcement in August 2020. In the lawsuit, Unzueta accused LASD of illegal arrest, strip searching, illegal confiscation of property as well as an illegal search of his devices. The city of Long Beach's new Housing Element will be marketed to Long Beach State students, specifically with 13,000 apartment units designated as affordable housing. However, the Element has yet to announce a specific plan to support students. Currently, Long Beach State provides limited on- and off-campus housing options, but only enough to accommodate 1,372 of its almost 40,000 students. The family of Los Angeles Police Department officer Houston Tipping is claiming that he was targeted and killed after filing a report that accused four other officers of sexually assaulting a woman. Tipping died during a training exercise last spring, and LAPD's internal investigation ruled his death an accident. However, Tipping's family is claiming he was beaten and killed, and plans to sue LAPD. CA Governor Gavin Newsom signed an array of new bills into law last week, all of which will take effect on Jan. 1. The bills seek to protect reproductive rights, close the gender pay gap, combat climate change, address the state's housing crisis, and more. Elon Musk seems set to buy Twitter after all. After a back-and-forth series of legal proceedings between Musk and Twitter's executive board, Musk announced on Oct. 3 that he will buy the social network after previously going back on the deal. In the segment Son of a Beach, Kadie Gurley covers the latest headlines in popular culture.

Our service and efforts to seek proximity to the Creator often undergo the distractions of life and the daily grind. And once in a while, it’s helpful to remind ourselves of His gifts and offerings to His creation. In the Quran, and teachings of the Prophet and his family, we are taught to remind ourselves of God’s blessings that we are constantly surrounded by. So truly, how generous is the All-Generous?

The month of Ramadan is meant to be a time of taking account of our souls and the beginning of the journey of self-purification. But as much as the holy month is about taking individual steps, in turn, it requires a commitment to social change. From the inspiration we gain from spending the days fasting and the nights in worship, we are meant to come to the forefront of supporting the most vulnerable in our communities.

The opportunity for growth is immense in the month of Ramadan for the one who chooses to take advantage of it. The Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened and the gates of Hell are closed, and the devils are put in chains.” Hadith gives us insight that adversarial elements looking for us to fail are not able to impact us in the same way during the blessed month of Ramadan. What remains is ourselves and a choice to willfully improve in relation to where we currently stand. Join us for a reflection on this first Jummah of Ramadan with Imam Khalid Latif where he looks into this and more as a means for each of us to take as much as we can from our Ramadan.

"As we prepare for the holy month of Ramadan, it’s important to remember that we are not mere bodily entities, but rather have a spiritual capacity that has the potential to reach greater heights. In these last 10 days before the holy month, what are the steps we need to take and be cognizant over in order that we have a spiritually successful month of Ramadan?" – Sheikh Faiyaz Jaffer Tamim Islam* recites the Quran at the beginning of the jummah reflection followed by a short duaa after. *About Tamim: Tamim is a current senior at NYU studying Business Technology Management.

“Violence enjoys a contradictory space in American life: it is the celebrity of patriotism, and the devil when it runs wild. The exclusive focus on politics to temper violence is problematic because our lives, from the culture we digest to the words we use, drip with violence. How can we be aware of the fascination America has with violence, and how can we emancipate our hearts and minds from its grasp so we can be carriers of peace and justice?" – Sheikh Suhaib Webb Tamim Islam* recites the Quran at the beginning of the jummah reflection followed by a short duaa after. *About Tamim: Tamim is a current senior at NYU studying Business Technology Management.

Don't miss this week's episode as Zuhdi shares with you the controversy that erupted this week at Duke University after the Muslim Student Association was invited to attend his upcoming speech on April 2, 2018 entitled, "The American Muslim Identity: Patriot or Insurgent". Apparently, any conversation about the incompatibility of Islamism with Americanism triggers Islamists. Dr. Jasser was vilified by the Duke Chronicle newspaper and the Muslim Student Association and its allies at the Duke Chronicle Newspaper and beyond without a single substantive argument or quotation and without yet having even spoken. Without a doubt young aspiring Islamists are threatened by leaders of the Muslim Reform Movement and what it means to their power. This week, Zuhdi also discusses Mustafa AKyol's piece in the New York Times about how Islamism drives Muslims away from Islam.. Last what is Islamic sharia-compliant financing? Why it is the jugular of Islamism.  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

For the first recording of 2018, I talk to a friend from high school. He was the former President of Stony Brook's Muslim Student Association. Religion has always been an integral part of his upbringing and still is today. We talk about the cultural differences between generations, the role of Islam in life, Islam in America and more. He even tell's me a story of Prophet Ibrahim towards the end which I didn't know. All in all definitely a great conversation.

Sinthia Shabnam speaks in different venues around campus with messages of unity, and acts as a humanizing face of Islam. But, she wants you to know: she is not a representative for all of Islam, and she doesn’t fit the stereotypes put onto her. Hear what she has to say about anti-Islam sentiments, her one-year experience living in a community where she couldn’t find her place, and why her mother was scared to see her interviewed on TV.

On this episode of LabourWave, we speaker with writer/activist Kevin Van Meter, author of Guerrillas of Desire available at https://www.akpress.org/guerrillas-of-desire.html. We discuss how organizing should not presume working-class people are unorganized and apathetic (therefore making the job of the organizer to organize and activate the working-class), but how the history of life under capitalism reveals that resistance is constant and the working-class are actively pushing against their domination on an everyday basis. We also discuss the following upcoming events in Corvallis: *Oct. 23 MU 213 "Customary Costumes: Appreciation or Appropriation?" hosted by Muslim Student Association and Allied Students for Another Politics (ASAP) *Oct. 25 Milam 318 "American Revolutionary: The Life and Times of Grace Lee Boggs" Film Screening and Discussion hosted by The Anarres Project for Alternative Futures *Oct. 26 Chintimini Senior Center "General Membership Meeting" Coalition of Graduate Employees (CGE). Food and child care provided. We encourage folks to Vote No on the current Benton County ballot measure "Public Safety and Health" as it will operate more to increase police presence and jail capacity in Benton County rather than fund needed services for all. LabourWave is an exploration of culture, politics, rebellion, and alternatives to capitalism recorded in Corvallis, Oregon. Contact us at corvallislabourwave@gmail.com

On September 15th, 2017 I was invited by the Muslim Student Association at the University of New South Wales in Sydney, Australia to participate in a discussion panel the Peter Slezak, a philosopher of science. The general theme was the question "If God Exists, Where is He?" We spoke for close to 3 hours on a number of topics under this wide umbrella, which included what is God, what is science, the nature of belief, the nature of morality, rationalism vs. empiricism, the problem of evil, and ethics.  This episode is the audio recording of the evening.

The purpose of this talk was NOT to unpack Kyle's deeply-held God beliefs using SE, but rather to understand why members of his group were avoiding me, which is why I let many of his claims go at this time. Mistakes: I'm kicking myself for not asking if Kyle has/will warn the leaders of the other on-campus religious groups like the Muslim Student Association or the Hindu Society and advise their members to avoid speaking with me. Please let me know if you notice any mistakes so that I can address them here for self-improvement.

My objective is to teach others how to conduct similar conversations with believers—regardless of the religion they subscribe to—based on techniques from Dr. Peter Boghossian's book, “A Manual for Creating Atheists”. I also want to encourage others to build off of these techniques and conduct similar conversations with believers in their own, unique style.

Last December, Republican presidential frontrunner Donald Trump called for a ban on all Muslims entering the United States. In March, he added that “I think Islam hates us.” MIT alumna and Wise Systems co-founder Layla Shaikley join engineering masters student Abubakar Abid to explore how this type of hateful, discriminatory rhetoric influences public opinion, discuss its impact on the daily lives of Muslim-Americans, and examine strategies for combating it. Layle Shaikley is an MIT alum, co-founder of Wise Systems and co-founder of TEDxBaghdad. With her viral video sensation “Muslim Hipsters: #mipsterz,” she helped launch a national conversation about how Muslim women are represented.
