Has anyone ever told you “don’t speak up about politics?” Has anyone told you “don’t bring religion into this?” Is secularism compatible with Islam? Can a Muslim truly separate their faith from politics?
In this episode of The Thinking Youth Podcast, Imam Tom Facchine explores where the secular mindset comes from, how it reshaped Muslim identity, and why many Muslims today feel pressured to keep Islam “private.”
We dive into:
• Why secularism insists religion stays out of politics
• How colonialism reshaped Muslim institutions
• The impact on Muslim youth and identity today
• What Islam actually says about governance, justice, and public life
If you’ve ever wondered whether Islam is just a personal belief, orr a holistic way of life, this conversation is for you.
