Episode notes
Religion vs Political Islam
- Imam Mohammad Tawhidi distinguishes Islam (religion) from Islamism (political ideology that hijacks Islam).
- He argues many extremists are Islamists using religion to gain power, not representative of most Muslims.
Treat Immigration As A Security Issue
- Tie immigration policy to national security and sovereignty rather than short-term politics.
- Implement rigorous vetting like Gulf states to prevent extremists entering society.
Iran's Theocratic Power Structure
- Tawhidi argues Iran's system is the 'guardianship of the jurist' where the supreme leader rules as a de facto king.
- He claims this makes Iran a regime and cult rather than a legitimate government with real elections.
