The Poetry of Reality with Richard Dawkins

In this episode I go beyond the abstract to the appalling treatment of Rana Ahmad, a brave young woman from Saudi Arabia. A student of physics, she became an atheist and had to flee from her family. She found refuge in Germany and published a book, Women Aren’t Allowed to Dream, which became a Spiegel bestseller. She bravely speaks out about the dangers in the Muslim world faced by those accused of apostasy. In this episode I interview her and am deeply moved by her courage.________________________Join Substack:https://richarddawkins.substack.com/Subscribe to Poetry of Reality Channel:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmwfdgHA_R9fzr1L0_hxdVwFollow:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the.poetry.of.reality/Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichardDawkinsFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/RichardDawkinsBooksReddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/ThePoetryofReality#richarddawkins #thepoetryofreality #apple #spotify #science #religion #atheism #truth #substack #muslims #islam #islamophobia #women #humanrights #freedom #ranaahmad Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
