Năm nay, 2025, hai nước Vatican và Cộng hòa Hồi giáo Iran kỷ niệm 70 thiết lập quan hệ bang giao. Trong một bài phỏng vấn đăng trên nhật báo Công giáo Ý Avvenire ngày 05/02/2025, đại sứ Iran bên cạnh Toà Thánh, Mohammad Hossein Mokhtari, cho biết « sẽ là vinh dự lớn lao khi được chào đón Đức giáo hoàng đến Teheran. » Điều này, cũng được hồng y người Bỉ, Dominique Mathieu, tổng giám mục Téhéran-Ispahan từ 2021, nêu lên trong một bài phỏng vấn đăng trên tuần san Dimanche của Bỉ, 09/02/2025, « Đức thánh cha chắc chắn mong muốn được đến Iran ». Liệu điều này có khả năng diễn ra hay không ? Thực hư mối quan hệ giữa Vatican và Iran là gì ? Mối quan hệ bền vững lâu dài Nếu điều này xảy ra thì sẽ không bất ngờ do mối quan hệ ngoại giao lâu dài giữa một nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo và một quốc gia ki-tô giáo toàn tòng. Thực sự, Toà Thánh đã có quan hệ ngoại giao đầy đủ với Iran từ năm 1954, mặc dù các mối liên hệ đã có từ thời vua Abbas Đại Đế ở thế kỷ XVI. Mối quan hệ chính thức được thiết lập giữa Đức giáo hoàng Piô XII và Shah (vua) Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, người đã thành lập chế độ quân chủ chuyên chế ở Iran. Chính ông đã lãnh đạo đất nước gọi là Nhà nước Đế Quốc Iran. Mối quan hệ ngoại giao này luôn được duy trì mà không hề bị cắt đứt hay ngưng trệ dù Iran có trải qua cuộc cách mạng Hồi giáo thay đổi cả chế độ vào năm 1979. Cuộc cách mạng này đã chuyển đổi thể chế quân chủ của Iran thành một nhà nước Cộng hòa Hồi giáo, mà lãnh tụ tôn giáo mới là người thực sự nắm quyền. Sau cuộc Cách mạng Hồi giáo 1979, một số người theo chủ nghĩa chính thống (fondamentalisme) muốn cắt đứt quan hệ với Tòa Thánh vốn đã có từ lâu. Tuy nhiên, lãnh tụ tối cao Khomeini đã phản đối. Theo như đại sứ đầu tiên của Cộng Hòa Hồi giáo tại Vatican, Sayyid Hadi Khosrowshahi, chính giáo chủ Khomeini đã gởi cho ông những thông điệp để chuyển đến Đức Gioan Phaolô II, người vừa được bầu lên vào thời điểm đó. Thông điệp mang nội dung hòa bình và lời mời chung sống với các ki-tô hữu. Iran đã luôn đầu tư mạnh mẽ vào mối quan hệ với Toà Thánh. Sự đầu tư này không chỉ mang màu sắc chính trị mà Iran còn tìm thấy nơi Toà Thánh sự tương đồng về chiều kích tâm linh tôn giáo. Mới đây, bộ trưởng Văn Hóa Iran đã hiện diện tại lễ an táng của Đức Phanxicô và lễ nhậm chức của Đức Lêô XIV. Ông đã chuyển tới đức tân giáo hoàng thông điệp của tổng thống Iran nhấn mạnh đến niềm tin lâu đời của Iran vào các nguyên tắc thống nhất của các tôn giáo lớn trên thế giới : Các tôn giáo đều bắt nguồn từ một chân lý duy nhất – chân lý kêu gọi nhân loại hướng đến phẩm giá, lòng trắc ẩn và hòa bình. Đức Lêô XIV đã ca ngợi chiều sâu lịch sử và văn hóa của người dân Iran, lưu ý rằng khi đức tin được thể hiện thông qua sự tôn trọng và đối thoại, « nó có sức mạnh biến đổi thế giới ». Sự chung sống của các tôn giáo Người dân Iran đã quen với sự chung sống giữa các tôn giáo. Người ki-tô hữu là một trong ba nhóm thiểu số được Hiến pháp Iran công nhận, cùng với người Do Thái giáo và người theo đạo Zoroaster (Bái hỏa giáo). Những đại diện của ba tôn giáo này tại Quốc hội Iran có quyền tham gia vào các phiên họp và có ý kiến ngay cả với những vấn đề nhạy cảm về an ninh quốc gia. Những thánh đường Công giáo cổ là những di sản văn hóa quốc gia. Kinh thánh Ki-tô giáo được dịch sang tiếng Ba Tư và các bản văn ki-tô giáo được giảng dạy và nghiên cứu. Tuy nhiên, việc truyền giáo giữa các tín đồ của các tôn giáo lại là vấn đề khác, hay vấn đề ép buộc cải sang Hồi giáo hay Công giáo cũng là một vấn đề hoàn toàn không liên quan với nhau. Người Hồi giáo Iran đa số thuộc hệ phái Shia và một thiểu số Sunni. Thế nên, ngay trong nội bộ, lãnh tụ tối cao đã thành lập các trường đại học để khuyến khích đối thoại. Hiến pháp Iran ghi nhận mọi quyền con người liên quan đến luật Kinh Coran, tức là luật pháp có nguồn gốc tôn giáo. Tuân thủ luật pháp như một hình thức thi hành tôn giáo. Điều này có thể giải thích cho việc : - Bài Hồi giáo là kết quả của những quan điểm sai lầm. Hồi giáo bị thu hẹp lại thành những nhóm bạo lực nhỏ. Họ giải thích kinh Coran theo cảm tính. Hồi giáo là một tôn giáo có chiều kích từ bi mạnh mẽ. Chính những nhóm này đang bị những người Hồi giáo chân chính xua đuổi. Và niềm tin đích thực phải được truyền đạt cho thế hệ trẻ. - Những người trẻ đang dần xa rời đức tin tôn giáo. Đó là vấn nạn chung, không chỉ nơi Hồi giáo mà cả nơi các tôn giáo khác. Mà vấn nạn này lãnh tụ Hồi giáo Iran mong muốn chia sẻ với người đứng đầu giáo hội Công giáo. Đối thoại Iran và Vatican được hình thành từ bao giờ ? Việc thiết lập sự đối thoại này đã được thực hiện từ lâu. Năm 1985, trong khi cuộc chiến Iran-Irak tàn khốc đang diễn ra, Iran đã mời nhà thần học phương Tây đầu tiên, linh mục Công giáo người Thụy Sỹ, Hans Küng, đến để trao đổi quan điểm với những người đồng cấp Hồi giáo. Küng đã rất ấn tượng khi thấy các giáo sĩ, quan chức Nhà nước và thậm chí cả các thành viên của gia đình giáo chủ tối cao lúc bấy giờ là Ayatolla Ruhollah Khomeini tham dự. Ông đã viết vào thời điểm đó: « Thay vì tranh chấp, hãy đối thoại. Đây là cụm từ đáng kinh ngạc mà tôi nghe thấy ở Teheran. Tôi tin rằng đối thoại chủ yếu có động cơ tôn giáo và sẽ đơm hoa kết trái. » Cuộc đối thoại này vẫn tiếp tục. Từ năm 1995, Tổ chức Văn hóa và Quan hệ Hồi giáo của Iran và Hội đồng Giáo hoàng về Đối thoại liên tôn của Vatican vẫn đều đặn gặp gỡ hội thảo mỗi 2 năm. Không chỉ với Giáo hội Công giáo, với khoảng 300.000 tín đồ tập trung ở Ispahan, nguyên là thủ đô của Iran, Hồi giáo Iran còn đối thoại với cả thiểu số Chính thống giáo Hy Lạp. Từ 1992, các giáo sĩ dòng Shia đã tổ chức cuộc họp liên tôn đầu tiên tại Athens với Giáo hội Chính thống giáo Hy Lạp. Các nhà tư tưởng Iran ngưỡng mộ giáo hội Chính thống giáo đã duy trì các giá trị và bản sắc truyền thống trước sự toàn cầu hóa của phương Tây. Hợp tác tôn giáo này còn được thể hiện qua sự can thiệp vào năm 2011 của giám mục Anh giáo John Bryson Chane và Hồng y Theodore McCarrick trong cuộc đàm phán thả hai người đi bộ đường dài người Mỹ bị Iran bắt giữ từ 2009 với cáo buộc làm gián điệp. Trung gian chính trị Có 3 lý do cơ bản để mối quan hệ giữa Teheran và Vatican trở nên gần gũi và có thể trở thành cầu nối cho những mối tương quan khác. Trước tiên, tầng lớp lãnh đạo của Iran không chỉ được thúc đẩy bởi Realpolitik, tức là thực thi những đường lối chính trị thực dụng trước mắt, như thắng cử mà không có đường lối hay ý thức hệ chính trị của một đảng. Những nhà lãnh đạo Iran hoạt động trong sự pha trộn tâm lý và văn hóa mà trong đó niềm tin tôn giáo đóng vai trò quan trọng. Đó là điều mà các nhà lãnh đạo phương Tây không thể hiểu được vì khái niệm tách biệt giữa Nhà nước và Giáo hội. Tuy nhiên, giáo hoàng và những người cộng tác của ngài có thể gặp gỡ với những nhà lãnh đạo Iran ngay trên chính lãnh địa này, nơi mà họ tìm thấy một vũ trụ chung về các niềm tin thiêng liêng và thần học. Thứ hai, đó là sự chia rẽ giữa các phái Hồi giáo, mà lớn nhất là hệ phái Shia và Sunni, có thể được xem tương đương với sự chia sẽ giữa Công giáo và các hệ phái Tin Lành hay Chính thống giáo. Và việc đi tìm sự hợp nhất cho sự chia rẽ của các tin đồ cùng tin thờ một Thượng đế là vấn đề mà những người trong cuộc mới hiểu rõ và chia sẻ với nhau. Thứ ba, xét về mặt chính sách, Iran và Vatican dưới thời Đức Phanxicô có nhiều khía cạnh tương đồng. Đó là cả hai đều mong muốn một trật tự thế giới đa phương hơn, không còn bị các cường quốc phương Tây, đặc biệt là Hoa Kỳ, thống trị. Đức Phanxicô là người ủng hộ chính cho liên minh BRICS, trong đó Iran là một trong sáu thành viên mới thành lập, và giáo hoàng có thể được tin tưởng sẽ tiếp tục khuyến khích BRICS trở thành một đối trọng kinh tế và chiến lược thực sự trong các vấn đề toàn cầu. Vấn đề hạt nhân và Syria Đối với Vatican, Syria là nơi có cộng đoàn Công giáo lớn nhất ở vùng Cận Đông. Đó là lý do tại sao từ năm 2013, Đức Phanxicô đã can thiệp vào Syria khi tổng thống Assad có thể đã sử dụng vũ khí hóa học chống lại chính người dân của mình. Vào tháng Chín năm đó, Đức Phanxicô đã kêu gọi một ngày cầu nguyện toàn cầu cho Syria khi tình hình nước này ngày càng hỗn loạn. Bên cạnh việc cầu nguyện, Vatican đã trình bày tóm tắt lập trường cho khoảng 70 vị đại sứ bên cạnh Tòa Thánh rằng một sự can thiệp sẽ chỉ làm trầm trọng thêm xung đột và cần phải tìm kiếm một giải pháp hòa bình. Đức Phanxicô cũng đã viết thư cho các thành viên của G20, khi đó đang nhóm họp ở Nga, lập luận rằng một sự can thiệp quân sự là vô ích. Khi đó Hoa Kỳ đã chọn không can thiệp và thay vào đó, chuyển kho vũ khí hóa học của Assad cho một tổ chức quốc tế. Hành động này cũng kéo Vladimir Putin vào cuộc nhằm bảo vệ những người ki-tô giáo và trong các nỗ lực cung cấp viện trợ nhân đạo. Iran đã bày tỏ sự ngưỡng mộ trước các nỗ lực của Tòa Thánh trong việc ngăn chặn các cuộc không kích vào Syria. Còn đối với Vatican, Iran là một bên không thể thiếu trong việc chấm dứt xung đột ở Syria. Vatican là thành viên sáng lập của Cơ quan Năng lượng Nguyên tử Quốc tế và từ lâu cũng đã ủng hộ thỏa thuận hạt nhân của Iran, coi đây là con đường hướng tới việc sử dụng công nghệ hạt nhân vì mục đích hòa bình. Khi Hoa Kỳ từ bỏ thỏa thuận dưới thời chính quyền Trump vào năm 2018, nhóm ngoại giao của Tòa Thánh đã thể hiện rõ sự phản đối. Những mối quan hệ lịch sử dựa trên tôn giáo và quan điểm chung về Syria đã dẫn đến một liên minh chính trị hoàn toàn về thỏa thuận hạt nhân. Trong quá khứ, vào tháng 4/2014, đã từng có một phái đoàn từ Hội đồng giám mục Hoa Kỳ gặp Hội đồng tối cao của các giáo chủ Chủng viện Qom của Iran. Hai bên đã đạt được lập trường chung chống vũ khí hạt nhân và vũ khí giết người hàng loạt. Trong quá trình gặp gỡ này, các giám mục Hoa Kỳ luôn tham khảo ý kiến từ Vatican. Thế nên, trong các vấn đề của vùng Trung Cận Đông, Vatican muốn giúp tạo động lực cho một tiến trình hòa bình tôn trọng vai trò của Iran và họ coi Téhéran là một bên tham gia không thể thiếu, sẵn sàng bảo vệ các nhóm tín ngưỡng mà cho đến nay các chính phủ phương Tây phần lớn không bảo vệ được. Tương đồng trước những vấn đề tôn giáo chung Trong khi, các lãnh tụ của Iran sẵn sàng nhận điện thoại từ Vatican trong các sự kiện quan trọng, chẳng hạn như tân tổng thống Masoud Pezeshkian đã điện đàm với hồng y Pietro Parolin, quốc vụ khanh Tòa Thánh ngay sau khi thắng cử. Thường các nguyên thủ quốc gia thích tránh né các cuộc gọi chứa đầy nội dung giáo huấn đạo đức từ Vatican. Đó không chỉ vì phép lịch sự ngoại giao của hai nước có mối quan hệ lâu dài, mà họ còn có sự tương đồng. Cả hai quốc gia đều được điều hành bởi một hàng giáo sĩ tôn giáo. Và họ đều nhìn thấy mối nguy của sự xuống cấp về mặt đạo đức nơi các thế hệ trẻ. Sự thiếu đi một bệ đỡ về mặt tinh thần trong một thế giới biến chuyển nhanh chóng và cần phải khẩn cấp cần đến những giải pháp cho vấn đề này. Còn đối với người Việt nói chung, và người ki-tô giáo nói riêng, ngôi mộ của người sáng lập ra chữ quốc ngữ được tìm thấy ở Ispanhan. Linh mục Alexandre de Rhodes hay cha Đắc Lộ (1591-1660) sau sứ mạng truyền giáo ở Việt Nam, ngài được phái đến Ispahan lúc đó là thủ đô của nước Ba Tư. Và qua đời tại đây.

Sau đợt đánh bom nặng nề, gia đình chị Thu Nguyễn, một trong số 7 người Việt còn ở Iran, bỏ lại công việc, nhà cửa, gom đồ đạc di tản đến thành phố Qom, cách Tehran 140km.

Las tensiones entre Irán e Israel se han intensificado desde el 13 de junio de 2025, cuando Israel lanzó ataques contra instalaciones nucleares iraníes, incluidas Natanz, Isfahán y Fordo, con el objetivo de desmantelar el programa nuclear iraní, que Israel considera una amenaza existencial. Irán respondió con misiles balísticos contra Israel, causando víctimas civiles y daños en ciudades como Tel Aviv y Beersheba. La planta de Fordo, ubicada bajo una montaña cerca de Qom, es clave por su capacidad para enriquecer uranio al 83,7%, cerca del 90% requerido para un arma nuclear. Su diseño subterráneo, protegido por 80-90 metros de roca y defensas aéreas, la hace prácticamente inmune a los ataques israelíes convencionales. Israel ha atacado Fordo, pero sin causar daños significativos, lo que ha intensificado su presión sobre Estados Unidos para que intervenga.

pWotD Episode 2971: Ali Khamenei Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 173,385 views on Friday, 20 June 2025 our article of the day is Ali Khamenei.Ali Hosseini Khamenei (born 19 April 1939) is an Iranian cleric and politician who has served as the second supreme leader of Iran since 1989. His tenure as supreme leader, spanning over 35 years, makes him the longest-serving head of state in the Middle East and the second-longest-serving Iranian leader of the 20th and 21st centuries, after Shah Mohammad Reza Pahlavi.Born in Mashhad to the Khamenei family originating from the town of Khamaneh, East Azerbaijan, Ali Khamenei studied at a hawza in his hometown, later settling in Qom in 1958 where he attended the classes of Ruhollah Khomeini. Khamenei became involved in opposition to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the shah of Iran, and was arrested six times before being exiled for three years by the Shah's regime. Khamenei was a mainstream figure in the Iranian Revolution (1978–1979), and upon its success, held many posts in the newly-established Islamic Republic of Iran. In the aftermath of the revolution, he was the target of an attempted assassination that paralysed his right arm. Khamenei served as the third president of Iran from 1981 to 1989 during the Iran–Iraq War, when he also developed close ties the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). After the death of Khomeini in 1989, Khamenei was elected supreme leader by the Assembly of Experts.As supreme leader, Khamenei promoted scientific progress in Iran, making considerable advances through education and training, despite international sanctions. He supported Iran's nuclear program for civilian use while issuing a fatwa forbidding the production of all kinds of weapons of mass destruction. Khamenei favoured economic privatization of state-owned industries and, with oil and gas reserves, transformed Iran into an "energy superpower". With his foreign policy being centered on Shia Islamism and exporting the Iranian Revolution, Iran supported the "Axis of Resistance" coalition in the Iraq War, the Syrian civil war and the Yemeni civil war. A staunch critic of Israel and of Zionism, he is known for his support of the Palestinians in the Israeli–Palestinian conflict.There have been major protests during Khamenei's reign, including the 1994 Qazvin protests, the 1999 student protests, the 2009 presidential election protests, the 2011–2012 protests, the 2017–2018 protests, the 2018–2019 general strikes and protests, the 2019–2020 protests, the 2021–2022 protests, and the Mahsa Amini protests. Journalists, bloggers, and others have been imprisoned in Iran for insulting Khamenei, often in conjunction with blasphemy charges.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:56 UTC on Saturday, 21 June 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Ali Khamenei on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Kajal.

What does Islam, particularly Shīʿī Islam, really say about same-sex sexual relations? Can Islamic legal frameworks, rooted in centuries of jurisprudence, ever be used to imagine the possibility of an Islamically valid same-sex marriage? What terms and categories did pre-modern Islamic sources use to describe what we might now call “homosexuality,” and what is meant by the claim that “homosexuality,” as a form of identity, is a modern concept? Is the story of Lot in the Qur'an really about homosexuality? And crucially, what Islamic perspectives exist in response to the deeply homophobic statement “Navigating Differences: Clarifying Sexual and Gender Ethics in Islam,” published in May 2023 and endorsed by those who argue that Islam categorically rejects same-sex sexual relationships? In Negotiating Homosexuality in Islam: A Legal-hermeneutical Examination of Modern Shīʿī Discourse (Brill, 2024), Mehrdad Alipour engages these urgent questions with intellectual rigor and legal precision. Alipour is a scholar of Iranian and Islamic studies whose work focuses on Islamic legal theory, Shi‘i thought, and the evolving discourse around sex, gender, and sexuality in both premodern and modern contexts. He earned his PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter and received traditional training at the Seminary of Qom in Iran. He is currently based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, where he leads the project Beyond Binaries: Intersex in Islamic Legal Tradition, exploring how intersex identities have been understood in Shi‘i legal texts from the 14th to early 20th centuries. Another publication of his, “Navigating Body Politics in Shiʿi Legal Tradition: Examining Sayyid Kāẓim al-Yazdī's Account of Non-Binary Intersex,” is available online for free to all readers. Rather than offering a theological verdict or issuing new rulings in the book, Alipour turns to the internal tools of the Imāmī Shīʿī legal tradition—most notably, the method of ijtihād—to explore how scholars have historically interpreted and might yet reinterpret questions regarding sexual relations. Through a careful and brilliant analysis of Qur'anic verses, hadith traditions, legal principles, and rational argument, Alipour shows how the Shīʿī legal tradition contains interpretive possibilities that could speak to contemporary understandings of homosexuality as a consensual, identity-based, and egalitarian practice. As Alipour clarifies in our conversation, his study does not attempt to declare what Islamic law must say about same-sex relations, but rather to identify and expand the discursive spaces within which such a conversation can meaningfully take place. By using the very legal principles and interpretive strategies that have shaped Shīʿī jurisprudence across generations, he invites scholars and jurists to consider how Islamic legal thought might respond, faithfully and creatively, to modern realities. The book is a thoughtful and necessary contribution to ongoing debates on Islam, law, and sexual diversity. In our conversation today, Alipour walks us through the book's key arguments and findings, highlights the significance of applying modern Imāmī ijtihādic principles to the question of same-sex relations, and outlines how core Islamic sources—the Qur'an, sunnah, reason (ʿaql), and consensus (ijmāʿ)—have been interpreted in relation to same-sex intimacy, with special attention to specific gaps in the story of Lot in the Qur'an. He also clarifies key premodern terms that are often cited by contemporary Muslim scholars as referring to homosexuality, unpacking their historical meanings and legal contexts. This here is my conversation with Mehrdad Alipour on his book, Negotiating Homosexuality in Islam: A Legal-hermeneutical Examination of Modern Shīʿī Discourse (Brill, 2024).

He earned his PhD in Arabic and Islamic Studies from the University of Exeter and received traditional training at the Seminary of Qom in Iran. He is currently based at the University of Utrecht in the Netherlands, where he leads the project Beyond Binaries: Intersex in Islamic Legal Tradition, exploring how intersex identities have been understood in Shi‘i legal texts from the 14th to early 20th centuries. Another publication of his, “Navigating Body Politics in Shiʿi Legal Tradition: Examining Sayyid Kāẓim al-Yazdī's Account of Non-Binary Intersex,” is available online for free to all readers. Rather than offering a theological verdict or issuing new rulings in the book, Alipour turns to the internal tools of the Imāmī Shīʿī legal tradition—most notably, the method of ijtihād—to explore how scholars have historically interpreted and might yet reinterpret questions regarding sexual relations. Through a careful and brilliant analysis of Qur'anic verses, hadith traditions, legal principles, and rational argument, Alipour shows how the Shīʿī legal tradition contains interpretive possibilities that could speak to contemporary understandings of homosexuality as a consensual, identity-based, and egalitarian practice. As Alipour clarifies in our conversation, his study does not attempt to declare what Islamic law must say about same-sex relations, but rather to identify and expand the discursive spaces within which such a conversation can meaningfully take place. By using the very legal principles and interpretive strategies that have shaped Shīʿī jurisprudence across generations, he invites scholars and jurists to consider how Islamic legal thought might respond, faithfully and creatively, to modern realities. The book is a thoughtful and necessary contribution to ongoing debates on Islam, law, and sexual diversity. In our conversation today, Alipour walks us through the book's key arguments and findings, highlights the significance of applying modern Imāmī ijtihādic principles to the question of same-sex relations, and outlines how core Islamic sources—the Qur'an, sunnah, reason (ʿaql), and consensus (ijmāʿ)—have been interpreted in relation to same-sex intimacy, with special attention to specific gaps in the story of Lot in the Qur'an. He also clarifies key premodern terms that are often cited by contemporary Muslim scholars as referring to homosexuality, unpacking their historical meanings and legal contexts.

What does Islam, particularly Shīʿī Islam, really say about same-sex sexual relations? Can Islamic legal frameworks, rooted in centuries of jurisprudence, ever be used to imagine the possibility of an Islamically valid same-sex marriage? What terms and categories did pre-modern Islamic sources use to describe what we might now call “homosexuality,” and what is meant by the claim that “homosexuality,” as a form of identity, is a modern concept? Is the story of Lot in the Qur'an really about homosexuality? And crucially, what Islamic perspectives exist in response to the deeply homophobic statement “Navigating Differences: Clarifying Sexual and Gender Ethics in Islam,” published in May 2023 and endorsed by those who argue that Islam categorically rejects same-sex sexual relationships?

This is the second time Bobby and Jens have sat down with Kristen Faulkner - a little over two years ago she spoke to us about her battles to survive in the peloton, how her rivals refused to follow her wheel - as they considered her too risky to follow and how challenging that initial step had been into the sport. Even then it was clear to see Kristen was destined to succeed - she'd already won the QOM at the Giro Donne as well as a stage win, but this summer she's launched herself into a whole new stratosphere of success. First she secure the US National road title, then in the space of a week she secured two Olympic gold medals - surprising the field with a late attack in the road race and dominating the team pursuit with her teammates. Days later she was at the Tour de France femmes and competing for stage wins. We caught up with Kristen to share her success and work out what's next for her, what she has planned away from the bike and how she's found life since becoming the first American to win gold in two different disciplines at the same Olympic Games.

GOOD EVENING: The show begins in the Federal Reserve boardroom with Jerome Powell's dilemma -- to raise interest rates three times in 2024 or to maintain the highest rate in 23 years? Then to Radio City Music Hall for the Three Presidents event to raise money and enthusiasm for President Biden's reelection campaign. Next, to Damascus, Tehran, and Qom for the succession struggle. To Gaza, Jerusalem, and Washington D.C. To London for Easter in the City, then to Addis Ababa, Damascus, Beijing, Shanghai, Taipei, and Washington D.C. To Moscow, Pyongyang, and Beijing. Finally, to Beirut, waiting on Hezbollah to launch or stand down. Thank you. 1874 John O'Connor, "The Embankment."
