The Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) once flourished as a prominent Islamist organization. Now its membership has plummeted, its leadership is rudderless, and even the U.S. State Department has distanced itself. Middle East Forum investigative reporter Susannah Johnston “crashed” the latest ISNA convention to learn first-hand about its moral and political collapse. Is this a good development? What is its future? What does it tell us about the wider Islamist movement in the U.S.?

This podcast is going to see us have a lot of the conversation about partnership. This idea is so often centered around the interaction between a man and a woman and mostly in relation to straight, married people. Oh and monogamous people. That’s not what we are referring to here specifically on this show – so today I want explode those boxes and discuss the wide variety of partnerships, relationships, sexuality, attraction and how that relates (and doesn’t relate) to gender identity. When I’m talking about partnership, I’m really talking about interrelating with people who will help you do something more, or be more than you can be by yourself. That doesn’t really have anything to do with gender. It doesn’t have anything to do with sexuality. It doesn’t have anything to do with romance. EPISODE RECAP Anywhere that you use the word of should it’s likely you are talking about an expectation. Also you people say things like “Well everyone knows …” that is also a sign you are referring to an expectation. I want to explicitly talk about being inclusive of different genders and sexualities and sexual and relationship preferences. Genderbread.org does a great job at breaking down pieces that people get confused. Identity like gender identity, gender expression, identity and expression in general sex, gender and sexual orientation. I generally identify as a, bisexual woman and I am in an open relationship. Let’s talk about the difference between between sex and gender, your sex is  usually like anatomical sex as in your genitals, what's between your legs, your chromosomes, your hormones, your body hair etc - but what it's not is your gender, right? Gender identity is the psychological sense of who you, who of self, of who you are in your head, who you know yourself to be, based of course on how much you align or don't align with the under, with, um, what you understand the options for gender to be Why do the conversations about the fluidity of gender get people so upset? It can cause a limbic flight or freeze hindbrain response and that can see us get angry - fast. But the truth of it is - other people's gender is really none of our business. And who they have sex with is none of our business - unless the person they have sex with is you. My gender expression is generally pretty femme - my gender identity mostly matches my anatomical sex and my gender expression - but that’s not the case for everyone. Sexual attraction isn't really a component of gender, however, we often conflate sexual orientation with gender or categorize the attraction of experience in gendered ways. The labels around sexual orientation themselves are so gendered The social scripts for love, relationship and even sex are so specific and inflexible.  Learning is what is going to breed tolerance and understanding! The more understanding that you have, having more exposure etc, the easier time you'll have when you encounter, different genders and sexualities - the more you know, understand and feel familiar with all of this, the more understand and tolerance you will have.

The organization is only five years old, yet is growing faster than ever, with thousands of members and counting. EXMNA is currently conducting the widely covered #NormalizingDissent college campus tour with ex-Muslim speakers, and features a series of phenomenal, moving personal videos about those who dared to leave the Islamic faith that have gone viral. We are joined by Muhammad Syed, the president and co-founder of the organization. Recently, EXMNA attended the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) conference in Houston, where our very own Armin was part of a small group of ex-Muslims booted from a Starbucks for, well, being ex-Muslims. We will discuss where we came from, where we are today, and where we go from here. Don't miss this!

In this episode, we discuss Armin’s recent visit to the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) with Ex-Muslims of North America (EXMNA), where he and a few other ex-Muslims were asked to leave a Starbucks at the Hilton simply for wearing t-shirts saying things like, “I’m an ex-Muslim. Ask me why.” We also discuss how ex-Muslims can engage with Muslims in debate. We also discuss ex-Ahmadi Muslims, the Judeo-Christian roots of Islam, Dan Gibson’s documentary “The Sacred City,” and a variety of other topics.

Major American foundations have given millions of dollars in funding to Islamic organizations accused of having ties to radical Islamist movements or designated terrorist organizations and a group of activists are trying to convince them to stop.  Groups like Islamic Relief Worldwide, which some countries have banned for allegedly funding Hamas and other terrorist organizations, have received millions of dollars from corporate charities like the GE Foundation, community foundations like the Silicon Valley Community Foundation, and independent foundations like George Soros’ Open Society Foundation.  (By Peter Hassan, Daily Caller, November 3, 2017). Researchers with the Middle East Forum, an activist group devoted to promoting American interests abroad, identified the financial stream from American foundations to seven Islamic groups with radical ties: Islamic Relief Worldwide and its sister organization in the United States.  — Islamic Relief USA, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the Muslim American Society (MAS), the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) and, despite rebounding from highly damaging terrorist allegations in 2008, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
