Episode Details

Date: 28/04/2026 Join our hosts for Tuesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Nationalism driven by ‘religion’?’ and ‘Prophetic Fatigue – are people giving up on the 2nd coming?’ Nationalism driven by ‘religion’? Today we are exploring the rise of religious nationalism, where faith identity, and politics collide. From India to Israel to the US to Europe, we’ll ask why this movement is growing, what it means for minorities and democracy, and whether religion can still be a force for peace and unity rather than division and conflict. Prophetic Fatigue – are people giving up on the 2nd coming? Major religions speak about a second coming but many are getting disheartened and turning away from the idea that there will ever be the Promised Messiah. Join us as we discuss how the Messiah has come and his name is Hazrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad. The Messiah to unite all. Guests: Professor George Michael - a leading expert on extremism, the far right and political violence at Westfield State University. Dr Shabnum Tejani - a historian at SOAS, University of London. Producers: Bushra Tun Nisa Amir and Amtul Shakoor
