AUDIO: President Obama’s Cairo Speech (mp3)
June 4th, 2009 by azizThe Fisher-Price Dawah Doll
November 13th, 2008 by azizThis is not a podcast but rather the audio file of the infamous Dawah Doll purported to be saying “Satan is king” and “Islam is the Light”. Listen for yourself!
I tried, but failed, to discuss the Dawah Doll without snark or mockery at City of Brass.
Willow and Muse on Mahr
October 21st, 2008 by willowRecently Muse and I had a conversation about that hot-button topic, mahr. Token of good faith or serious investment? With the cost of marriage on the rise and customs changing in a globalized world, this is a topic that affects many Muslims. Unfortunately we got cut off right before the end of our discussion so this is coming to you in two segments.
Part I:
Part II:
Sunnis, Shi’a, Protestants, and Catholics, oh my
October 16th, 2008 by azizWhen discussing the Shi’a-Sunni sectarian divide in Islam, does the Catholic-Protestant analogy useful, or a barrier to understanding? Razib and Aziz continue their long-standing debate on the matter. At least, until we are interrupted by an interloper who interjects their own, unique perspective…
The original discussion on this topic was back in March 2004 - here are the relevant links:
- Aziz, at City of Brass - fuzzy analogies: Shi’a and Catholics
- Thabet, at Muslims Under Progress - On the Islamic clerisy and analogies with Christianity
- Razib, at Gene Expression - Here I Stand
There was also a followup discussion at Talk Islam this past May (2008).
Hopefully, our next podcast will pick up where this one left off!
