Muslim reformer, feminist and free speech advocate Shireen Qudosi joins the Renegade Report for a frank and thoughtful discussion. Shireen discusses the conflict within Islam, the misunderstanding of the religion among many – including theists – and the similarities between Islam and modern identity politics. Jonathan explores the reasoning for much of the extremism in the Muslim world, and Roman seeks to better understand the reform project and its aims. Shireen provides insight into the pervasive effects of Arabic culture on traditional Islam, the role of Sharia law – including the issues of female genital mutilation and dress code, and life as a Muslim in Trump’s America.
