Description
In this episode of the Blood Brothers Podcast, Dilly Hussain speaks with the prominent British Muslim broadcaster, commentator and influencer, Bushra Shaikh.
Topics of discussion include:
- Rampant Islamophobia and anti-Muslim hatred in Britain, online and offline, from the Southport riots to the Trafalgar Square iftar prayer controversy.
- The future of Muslims in Britain: belonging, identity, colonialism and British foreign policy.
- Lessons from Afghanistan and Iraq, and the U.S.-Israeli war on Iran: manufacturing consent, regime change and domestic blowback.
- Bushra’s recent trip to Iran. Was it a propaganda trip, and was she paid? The reality on the ground, her personal observations, and public opinion.
- The lack of Sunni (states) solidarity for Iran. How legitimate are the reasons for this: Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Lebanon and sectarianism.
- What is the future of the Pakistan and its role in the future of the Muslim world?
- Why is every form of religious-political unity allowed and tolerated except Islamic political unity?
