Since we last spoke to Sami Hamdi, a lot has happened in the ongoing Gaza slaughter. Israel has finally moved its ground operations into Gaza, and their Western backers have set down their intention to provide diplomatic cover to their settler offshoot and shield it from criticism. Western leaders have had to defend the indefensible as Israel's punitive and indiscriminate action continues. For example, Ursula Vonderlyen, the President of the EU Commission, just yesterday sent out a tweet at a holocaust memorial saying never again. Yet, the day before, she met with an Israeli official and gave her undying commitment to his cause, such is their barefaced duplicity.
Calls for a ceasefire have been vetoed at the UN, and the West accepts no liability for the thousands murdered in cold blood. It is truly astonishing to see how liberals on both sides of the Atlantic have confirmed what most of us have known for a long time: that their so-called rules-based international order is set up to cover their brutality. It is not that they kill civilians without any recourse to humanity. It's that they openly declare their mass murder with knowledge of impunity. The West has given them diplomatic cover to engage in slaughter without red lines. This is truly an age of impunity.
Sami Hamdi is the director of international interest and a regular commentator on mainstream news networks.

Dr. Yasir Qadhi discusses the Islamic ruling on helping non-Muslims against Muslims.
STORY OF HATIB:
Ali said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has not told a lie.'" Then `Ali took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." `Umar again said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, `Umar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best." (Bukhari)

It is not an exaggeration to say that one of the challenges the Muslim community faces is unity. We tend to fall out with one another on spurious grounds, yet communities’ erect mosques around divisions and we are always ready to call one another out. Our public discourse is caustic, we are ready to condemn each other on the flimsiest of reasons.
If we contrast our modern predicament to our history, we find that Muslims had a higher threshold of tolerance towards one another, the tent was big and the ummah flourished. Our vision was lifted above the petty squabbles and differences and we excelled. No doubt the divisions we currently find ourselves In is exacerbated by outside actors that look to sow division and that has been the case for over a century, however, we enable those schisms to open up and fail to appreciate the true meaning of the verse, the believers are all brothers.
This week we speak to a regular guest Dr Shadee Elmasry about division within the Muslim community. I ask him, how does Islam help us to navigate our differences? What makes a valid shari’ opinion? How do we know whether a scholar or commentator is sincere to sources of Islam? What makes a mujtahid and what are the limits of the muqallid (follower)? We discuss the recent trend amongst duat to call out and defame one another.
We also discuss the duty of enjoining maroof and forbid munkar, how does a layman fulfil this duty? What gives the commoner the right to question even scholars on issues and what are the guidelines? How do we forbid wrong while transmitting respect and not exacerbating divisions? We look at the notion ‘only Allah can judge’ and the anger that pervades much of modern social media ‘da’wah’. What does it mean to be smart in conveying Islam? and does being smart sometimes come at the cost of being truthful?

It is no exaggeration to say that in their quest to malign Islam, some in the West target Muslim women. Her position within the family, her place in society and, of course, her dress are placed under the microscope – and like colonialists in the days of empire, her emancipation is seen to be a means to a greater Islamic reformation. In recent days, France’s minister of education has announced that Abayas, the loose dress many Muslims wear for modesty, will be banned from schools. Apparently, a piece of clothing is an affront to French secularism and, yet again, another sign of separatism. In the UK, the former prime minister likened burka-wearing Muslim women is a those who chose to look like letterboxes and bank robbers.
Young Muslim women are subject to a barrage of what can only be called propaganda, traducing their religious dress and promising to liberate them from their religion. To help us understand how this works and to caution against some of the extremes by which the community can handle this onslaught.

The issue of the caliphate has recently made a resurgence within Muslim discourse. For nearly 100 years the Muslim ummah has been without a caliphate, and many have come to the view that the world of empires is behind us, and we now must embrace the era of nation-states. Yet the issue remains a live one, Islam and Muslims have remained tortured by our lack of ability to resolve some of the most intractable problems we face – leading to the suggestion that establishing a post-nation state brings together our resources, people and potential.
Dr. Uthman Badar has been thinking about the concerns of the caliphate. He is the lead editor at the Ummatics Institute. He received his Ph.D. in Philosophy from Western Sydney University in 2023, where he currently teaches. He is also an active Muslim community member in Sydney, Australia, with over two decades of engagement in grassroots activism and da’wah.

Come election time, Western Muslim communities have been asked to support mainstream political parties in exchange for representation. Some commentators have praised the multiculturalism of countries like the UK, where the party system has integrated many Muslims into the political system. Here in London, we have Sadiq Khan, arguably the highest-ranking elected Muslim official in the Western world. In the United States, there’s a similar push for Muslims to support the Democrats and even the Republicans, and some have broken the glass ceiling and represent the parties at local and national levels.
But does Muslim representation really work? On Gaza we have seen the limits of the ‘Muslim voice’. What are the structural compromises the system will always want to solicit from Muslim representatives? Does the system only support particular types of candidates, and indeed does the system change the people who set out to change the system?
To explore this topic, I have with me in the studio today Dr Asim Qureishi. Dr Asim Qureshi is the research director at CAGE, a UK-based advocacy organisation working to empower communities impacted by the War on Terror. He has a background in International Law and is the author of the books "Rules of the Game" and "A Virtue of Disobedience".

With the US mid-term elections looming, once again Muslims in the United States confront a now perennial problem, to whom should they cast their vote? Liberals promise to fight discrimination and advance minority rights, attractive to young Muslims in particular whilst the right look to capitalise on the culture wars by addressing some of the so-called wedge issues that provoke conservative America, including liberal abortion laws, the trans issue and the liberalisation of education.
It is within this context that I held a very interesting conversation with my guest today, public intellectual and activist Mobeen Vaid. Mobeen has been at the forefront of addressing the creeping liberalisation of social attitudes of the Muslim community and how these opinions often are way out of sync with the global Muslim ummah and Islam. Mobeen’s erudite commentary has looked to counter and critique these trends and today he lectures at Mosques and community centres across the US.
I ask him to attempt to explain to an outsider like myself why many Muslims worry about the intellectual and social health of American Muslims and whether these perceptions are warranted. I also ask him to situate his own work within the context of these culture wars, how can he criticise the excesses of social liberalism without becoming fodder for an equally disturbing conservative right?
I have to note, Mobeen has moved the conversation in a positive direction in America and I suspect many Islamic scholars, who have been reticent to talk about these trends, have been influenced by his straightforward yet well-researched opinions. In that sense, I see him as a thought leader. As always some of our listeners may find some of what is said today challenging, but let’s keep the conversation going.

We are all angry. We live in an unjust world. The so-called rules-based system, the rhetoric surrounding human rights, the endless speeches on democracy and freedom – all of it turned out to be hollow. The death and destruction in gaza is juxtaposed with the triviality with which the political elites in the west talk of human life. We are angry.
How does a Muslim deal with this visceral anger. How do we deal with the inhumanity of these western elites yet stay true to ourselves and who we are? Should we learn to stop being angry and live our lives in a comatose state or utilise this anger in a just direction?
Today we have Dr Kamal Abu Zahra to help us understand anger from an Islamic perspective.
My guest today is Dr Kamal Abu Zahra is a lecturer in Islamic studies and in Islamic law who has an expertise in the contemporary fiqh.

Gaza's Moments of Hope | Featuring Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, Wadah Khanfar, Ahmed Keeler, and Dr. Omar Suleiman
In this video, we share poignant glimpses of hope witnessed amidst the events in Gaza, drawing deeply from the rich history of our Ummah, the teachings of the Quran and Sunnah, and the lessons from past colonizations and occupations. These reflections remind us of the divine principles that guide us and our responsibilities in light of them. Join Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, Wadah Khanfar, Ahmed Keeler, and Dr. Omar Suleiman as they share their heartfelt thoughts on finding hope in these challenging times.
And finally, please remember to keep your brothers and sisters in your duaa'.
Every immigrant in Norway must attend classes on female rights and respect for women. The lessons were made compulsory after a string of sex attacks by immigrants in the western city of Stavanger.

Freedom of speech is an idea we all naturally gravitate towards. Who would want to live in a society where certain types of speech were outlawed or regulated? Or where we had to watch what we say at every turn. Yet liberals would readily admit that free speech is not absolute and they have recognised the need to police and censure some speech that could undermine the virtues they want society to embrace. It is not uncommon to find within western societies libel laws, the censure of the press and moral boundaries that all contribute to the narrowing of speech, whether through law or through society.
Recently, freedom of speech has been subject to intense debate. Here in Britain, a freedom warrior Toby Young has established a free speech union that rails against the shutdown of opinions in society and specifically university campuses. He and others like him on both sides of the Atlantic believe progressivism has ignited a new puritan assault on freedom, ready to ban speakers on campus and take offence. What they call a new ‘cancel culture’ has narrowed discussion at the detriment progress. Certainly, modern liberal societies are plagued with these culture wars that are likely to intensify in years to come.
But of course, Muslims also have a conundrum when it comes to free speech. On the one hand, we suffer from the constant barrage of abuse that comes our way - the repulsive cartoons against the Prophet (saw) were disguised with the caveat that we are the problem, and we must learn to tolerate others. But on the other hand, we also see our own speech curtailed in our masjids and communities and we often call upon the wider society to respect our freedoms. So how do we understand this idea and where does Islam stand on free speech?
To understand this subject further, I have invited Hamza Tzortzis to the Thinking Muslim to break down the idea and to give us an Islamic perspective. Hamza Andreas Tzortzis is the author of The Divine Reality: God, Islam & The Mirage of Atheism. He is a public speaker, instructor and essayist and a founding member of the Sapience Institute.
My conversation with Hamza is extensive and we cover a lot of ground, we ended up speaking for over two hours and it was a real ordeal editing this down as his words are rich with content.
