#070 - Nuriyah Khan - Modern-Day Religious Revolution In Britain: What Does The Future Hold?

Mar 21, 2025
01:02:26

Nuriyah Khan is the host of the YouTube channel Holy Humanist and is a prominent ex-Muslim and women's rights campaigner, known for her fearless advocacy and outspoken views. 

In this episode, Nuriyah and I think out loud about her experiences as an ex Muslim and her views on women's rights and human rights. We also talk about the changing landscape of Islam in Britain, the perception of institutional preference for Muslims over other religious adherents, the potential for an Islamic reformation led by Saudi Arabia and particularly Mohammed bin Salman, the role of British Muslims in public discourse, the media's treatment of Islam, and the cultural expressions of Englishness that Nuriyah think are so important to retain, and why patriotism needs to make a comeback. Nuriyah also shares her insights on the challenges and opportunities for integration and the future of a multi ethnic Britain, which she wants to be optimistic about, but feels like she leans towards realism, which others might read as Not good,  and you can expect much, much more. 

In the exclusive Substack Q&A, we also discuss Nuriyah's views on how to contain extremism in Britain, and much besides.
