A War Against Truth with Maajid Nawaz (WiM329)
The "What is Money?" Show
The Imposition of an Ideology in Islam
Islam was not defined by this desire to impose one version or one reading over society. Spain once had a 900-year period of Islamic rule, but that all came to an end with the Inquisition. There are four main schools of jurisprudence in Islam: Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki and Hambali. People in South Asia are Hanafi; people in North Africa are Maliki while Saudi Arabia is Hanbali.
Maajid Nawaz joins me to discuss his journey from radicalization to reformation, the importance of practical knowledge, religion and mentors, the game of illusion by the state, and why we need decentralization more than ever.
Maajid Nawaz is a British anti-extremist, political commentator, activist, and podcast host.
