In this episode of The Jane Q. Public podQast, Q talks with Shireen Qudosi, about her new project The Foundation for Human belonging. The two discuss Shireen's vision for 'spiritually feminine leadership', breaking dichotomous frames, and the bittersweet life of following your heart into the unknown. Find Shireen online at: Instagram (@ShireenQudosi) ShireenQudosi.com As an immigrant over and over again across three continents Shireen Quidosi has lived the themes coloring our cultural and policy landscape today — migration, radicalization, and adaptation across seismic cultural shifts. In 2019, Shireen grew deeply concerned about the new eruptions of extremism and identity politics (a ‘gateway drug' to radicalization). The following year, alarmed by the normalization and acceleration of radicalization, she shed the skin of her own identity markers by choosing to no longer self-identify based on race, ethnicity, faith, or political ideologies. Shireen chooses beyond polarity and offers her experience and expertise through a new model of conscious leadership rooted in the feminine. She is currently writing a book, "The Song of the Human Heart" and forming an accompanying 501c3, The Foundation for Human Belonging.
In this Beyond Barriers exclusive, Jeff Schoep and Acacia Dietz speak with Shireen Qudosi about her organization The Foundation for Human Belonging, along with subjects of Afghanistan and extremism. Shireen is a writer and speaker on faith, identity, and belonging. In 2021, she created The Foundation for Human Belonging, a 501(c)(3) that looks at the arc of human belonging to build alternative frameworks challenging radicalization, polarity, and extremism. Beyond Barriers is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization committed to a new approach of countering and preventing extremism.

The Preventing Violent Extremism (PVE) and Countering Violent Extremism (CVE) sectors long abandoned the conveyor belt theory -- that there is a straight pathway on which an individual becomes radicalized. However, when that story was discarded it wasn't replaced with anything that captured the communities we need fighting on the frontlines. In an episode on the power of storytelling in PVE, Shireen Qudosi shares the story she created for workshop trainings to help communities understand the allure of extremists recruiters.
Shireen Qudosi speaks with former Al-Qaeda propagandist Jesse Morton on: - The Jihadi response to America's panic over coronavirus - Divergent narratives between the East and the West - How extremists will use a global pandemic to demonize the enemy, and how this ties in with conspiracy theories and end-times rhetoric. - Why secularism is broken and whether it can be salvaged. - Every crisis is an opportunity. In the West that means breaking away from broken models of polarized leadership, and why safe centrism doesn't work either. Qudosi: "America is a story and this is a time to reconnect with that story." Morton: "If you walk 19 years into a forest, it'll take 19 years to talk back out. This is the long hard haul of redefining who we are as a people." About Jesse: Jesse Morton is founder and head of Parallel Networks, an organization combating hate and extremism, and research coordinator for the Institute for Strategic Dialogue’s Against Violent Extremism Network in North America. Once a prominent radicalizer in the West, Morton co-founded and was chief propagandist of Revolution Muslim, a New York City-based group active in the 2000s, where he helped insert the narrative of Al-Qaeda and Salafi-jihadist ideology into the American ambit. He has lectured at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud University (Saudi Arabia) and Sunderland University (Morocco), and worked at George Washington University’s Program on Extremism, focused on issues such as jihadist propaganda. Morton was named one of Foreign Policy’s 2017 Global Thinkers.

Telling anyone, especially a child, "don't" is not enough. A simple neuro-linguistic programming technique can help us better communicate with, guide our children and prevent them from become violent extremists. The child needs to know what they should do instead as Shireen Qudosi explains.

Boston podcaster and author Charles Moscowitz is joined by Shireen Qudosi, National Correspondent at the Clarion Project, in a conversation about the Islamic Reform movement. Link: https://radiopublic.com/clarion-podcasts-604z06/ep/s1!aad4b Twitter: https://twitter.com/shireenqudosi?lang=en
For over a decade, Shireen Qudosi has furthered the cause of progressive Islam both through her blog, The Qudosi Chronicles and by working with a diverse network of activists within the global Muslim community. She was also named one of the top ten North American Muslim Reformers in 2011.
Clarion's own Shireen Qudosi speaks from the heart about why Muslim reformers work with Jewish groups in this gripping podcast. She talks of the threats and anger reformers receive from their own Muslim community as a backlash to their cooperation with Jewish individuals and organizations. Subjects covered: No one is complaining about hate imams teaming up with Jewish groups Backlash Muslims receive for teaming up with Jews It's intuitive to work with Jews Jews have already adapted their religion. We could learn from that. "Jews control everything" vs "Muslims control nothing." Jewish organizations respect freedom of movement in a way Muslims don't. What Muslim organizations can Muslims even turn to? Photo: Chaplain (Capt.) Andrew Cohen stands behind a lit menorah during the eighth day of Hanukkah at Joint Base Balad, Iraq.

On January 21, President Trump signed an executive order “Protecting the nation from foreign terrorist entry into the United States.” The order suspended immigrant and nonimmigrant entry into the country by citizens of seven majority Muslim countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days. It also suspended refugee admission into the United States for 120 days, and barred entry of Syrian refugees until further notice. The stated order’s purpose was to “ensure that those admitted to this country do not bear hostile attitudes toward it and its founding principles.” -- The Washington State Attorney General filed a lawsuit against the order in District Court citing harm to Seattle residents. Judge James Robart in the Western District of Washington issued a restraining order on February 3 halting President Trump’s executive order nationwide. The Department of Justice appealed the restraining order to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, which rejected the Justice Department’s appeal for an emergency stay. -- David Bier of CATO and Andrew C. McCarthy of National Review, who have both written on the topic (see their pieces here and here respectively), joined activist Shireen Qudosi, Director of Muslim Matters with America Matters, to discuss the legality of the executive order in the second episode of our Executive Orders Teleforum Series. -- Featuring: Andrew C. McCarthy, Senior Fellow, National Review Institute; David J. Bier, Immigration Policy Analyst, Cato Institute’s Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity; and Shireen Qudosi, Director of Muslim Matters, America Matters.
