Limits of free speech and desecration

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?
