This was for sure easy on the ears, if one can say so so, but also a missed opportunity. Letting Dr. Suleiman explain questions of Islamic faith is very interesting, as soon as topics of politics and foreign policy arrived I missed your typical way of questioning though. One could have the impression now religion alone causes no conflict whatsoever which is obviously not true. Just to state an obvious one, Dr Suleiman believes that being an active gay person for example is sinful. Religion and politics are intertwined and it would have been a delight to hear a discussion and not only a soothing voice.,(reply>), Aaaand? It’s true. Leading an active gay life will definitely get you tickets to hell.,(reply>), 📩📩📩,(reply>), ​@Betty Ess I do agree on this point and I had no objections to this topic within the podcast. Quite the opposite in fact and in the end more public displays of Muslims just being themselves are for sure needed. What I missed in the video was a bit of pushback against the idea that wars and struggles are all politics with no involvement of religion or let's say values.,(reply>), Its important to explain, when we speak about Islam we shouldn't always have to be in a position of defence, sadly there is always an expectation for Muslims to be defending themselves in one way or another, you have many discussions with many people but there isn't an expectation on them to defend their beliefs, for instance if there was an interview with a member of the LGBTQ community, would you be attacking their position? asking them about their commitments and feeling towards religion and how they consider religion to be sinful? Because it's different to their lifestyle? It's extremely important to understand that people are different, you can disagree with people's choices without hating them.  It might be a choice for some but not for others, another example is alcohol, which is also sinful but that doesn't mean everyone who chooses to drink alcohol is hated.  I hope this makes sense.
