Understanding Sympathy for Jihad
The speakers delve into the problem of supporting extremist groups like Hamas, both among Muslims and non-Muslims, and suggest that anti-Semitism is not the only explanation. They analyze distressing phone call where a man confesses to a violent act in the name of jihad and explore the shared cultural understanding of jihad and martyrdom. Additionally, they discuss the need for a path towards a tolerable future in a pluralistic world.
