    Secular Jihadists for a Muslim Enlightenment

    Throughout history, freethinkers have outraged the religious with their wacky ideas about the virtues of free speech, reason, and, of course, eating babies. Now, God is dying—and it’s time to dispose of his remains. From the pits of Hell, Satan sends two puppets of the imperialist West and the Zionist Jews against God, Islam, and tiny kittens to bring you their propaganda and conspire for a new world order. This is Secular Jihadists for a Muslim Enlightenment—with Harris Sultan, Veedu Vidz, & Armin Navabi.

    EP61: Matt Dillahunty: Atheism & the Art of Debate Aug 09, 2018
    Show notes

    Matt Dillahunty is an atheist activist and true pioneer of the current movement. Raised as a Southern Baptist, Matt became an atheist after studying to become a minister. From the early days of his widely popular show, The Atheist Experience, to his recent Pangburn event with Jordan Peterson, Matt has proven to be one of the most articulate and masterful debaters of our time. We spoke with him about how ex-Muslims can engage religious Muslims in debates; how to have a good, effective argument with persuasive power; the state of the atheist movement today; how the art of debate can continue to propel this fast-growing movement into the future; and yes—his widely viewed debate with Jordan Peterson.

    EP60: Secular Rescue: Saving Freedom, Saving Lives Jul 31, 2018
    Show notes

    In many countries—especially Muslim-majority countries—atheists live in mortal danger. Thirteen of these countries—Afghanistan, Malaysia, Maldives, Mauritania, Nigeria, Pakistan, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen—officially punish atheism with death. This grim reality led the Center for Inquiry (CFI) to start the Secular Rescue program, designed to provide emergency assistance to writers, bloggers, publishers, and activists who face threats because they are freethinking non-believers. In this episode, we speak to Robyn Blumner, the CEO of CFI and executive director of the Richard Dawkins Foundation for Reason and Science (RDFRS), about this lifesaving, heroic initiative. She told The Atlantic that Secular Rescue is “an underground railroad of sorts for non-believers in countries where simply expressing doubt about religious belief is a criminal offence or where it may lead to grave physical harm.” If you have ever been in danger for your ideas, or know someone who has, this is a must-listen episode. [NOTE: This episode was recorded on the phone while Armin was in the UK working on the Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson events, so the audio isn't great; however, we've tried to make it as clear as possible. This episode is audio only.]

    EP59: #MyStealthyFreedom: An Iranian Feminist Icon Tells Her Story Jul 30, 2018
    Show notes

    Masih Alinejad is the Iranian journalist and activist who founded #MyStealthyFreedom, inviting women in Iran—where the Islamic headscarf (hijab) is mandatory—to post pictures of themselves without it. The project went viral, and is making international headlines today more than ever. Masih's riveting book, The Wind in My Hair: My Fight for Freedom in Modern Iran, is now available, and Armin calls it one of the best books he has ever read. She joined us on the podcast to talk about it, we had SO much fun. (Rest assured, every time Masih and Armin broke out into Persian, Ali insisted on immediate translations.) You'll feel inspired, you'll feel moved, and most importantly, you'll laugh. Check it out.

    The song Masih sings at the end:

    سرزمین من
    خسته خسته از جفایی
    سرزمین من
    بی سرود و بی صدایی
    سرزمین من
    دردمند بی دوایی
    سرزمین من

    بی آشیانه گشته ام
    خانه به خانه گشته ام
    بی تو همیشه با غم
    شانه به شانه گشته ام

    Translation:

    My Land
    You are so tired from misery
    My Land
    You have no song and no voice
    My Land
    You are ill and there is no remedy for your illness
    My Land

    Without you, I have no home
    I go from one home to another (in foreign countries)
    But without you I am sad
    Shoulder to shoulder I look for you

    EP57: Jordan Peterson vs. Sam Harris: A Behind the Scenes Review Jul 10, 2018
    Show notes

    Everyone wants to know what happened at the two back-to-back Jordan Peterson vs. Sam Harris Pangburn Philosophy events in Vancouver last month. (Videos of the events won't be out until the next two events in the UK are completed.) Fortunately, our very own Secular Jihadists host Armin Navabi is Director of Media at Pangburn Philosophy, and was there, behind the scenes, for both nights—before, during, and after. He did this exclusive AMA episode after the event where he discussed Harris and Peterson's conversation at length and answered our patrons' questions.

Jerry is currently a professor emeritus at the University of Chicago, and recently published Faith vs. Fact: Why Science and Religion are Incompatible.

    EP55: Bangladesh's Secular Bloggers: Risking Their Lives for Freedom Jun 19, 2018
    Show notes

    “Let Bangladesh revoke the citizenship of these enemies of Islam! If not, we will hunt them down in whatever part of God’s world we find them and kill them right there!” These words appeared on a kill list of about twenty secular bloggers in Bangladesh, published by the Islamic terrorist group Ansarullah Bangla Team. One of the names on the list was Raihan Abir, who joins us on this episode of Secular Jihadists. Raihan's friend and colleague, Avijit Roy, with whom he co-authored their book Philosophy of Disbelief, was hacked to death by Islamic fundamentalists with machetes in early 2015. Also hacked to death the same year were Washiqur Rahman, Niloy Neel, Ananta Bijoy Das, Faisal Dipan (Raihan's publisher), and several others. "I knew it was my turn," Raihan said chillingly at the time. And he was right. After escaping several threats to his life, this brilliant young editor of Mukto-Mona, a Bengali/English blog on freethinking and science co-founded by Avijit and his wife Bonya, eventually found refuge by moving his family to Canada. In 2016, Raihan Abir won the PEN Canada/Ken Filkow Prize for showing extraordinary courage in opposing restraint on freedom of expression and ideas. This is an incredible story from a real free speech hero. Don't miss this.

    EP54: Israel, Palestine and the Iran Deal Jun 09, 2018
    Show notes

    The US embassy has moved to Jerusalem, and violence has erupted yet again in Gaza. Meanwhile, the Iran deal has been cancelled by the United States. People are again talking about whether they're "pro-Israel" or "pro-Palestine." There's an assumption out there that Muslims are pro-Palestine, so ex-Muslims must be pro-Israel. Is this true? Is it that simple? Can you be both, or neither? Armin also shares his thoughts on the Iran deal, based on his correspondence with people of all political persuasions inside Iran. Ali and Armin try to put it all together in this episode—with insights you may not hear in the mainstream media. Check it out.

    EP53: The Recovering White Nationalist: How Radicalization Works May 30, 2018
    Show notes

    In this episode, we spoke to Leon Korteweg, a young man in the Netherlands who joined a group of white nationalist skinheads and neo-Nazis soon after the 2004 assassination of Theo Van Gogh in broad daylight. Van Gogh had worked with Ayaan Hirsi Ali in producing the short film "Submission,” which criticized the oppression of women in Islam. “[The group] offered me a radical solution to the escalating conflict between 'our Dutch culture' and everyone else, including the Muslim terrorists who killed Van Gogh: ‘All foreigners out,’” he says. Over the following 7 years, Leon has gradually moderated his views, been de-radicalized, and gradually moved to the political left—a process he describes as difficult. With time he was able to leave the skinhead group behind and invent his own version of nationalism that was less and less xenophobic, ethnic, and exclusivist. Ultimately, he rejected the idea of nationalism altogether, which he now considers harmful, like religion. We talked about the various factors that led to Leon's radicalization, the mindset accompanying it, how the radicalized mind operates, and what kinds of approaches can be used to help de-radicalize young people. We learned so much from this extremely fascinating and important conversation, and we think you'll find it just as compelling and insightful. Check it out.

    EP52: How One Woman Fought Pakistan's Blasphemy Laws May 24, 2018
    Show notes

    Rafya is a Pakistani woman who was married off at seventeen. After enduring years of mistreatment and abuse, she finally gathered up the courage to leave her husband, but this came with a cost: he ripped their three-year-old daughter from her arms. When Rafya tried to get her back, he registered a blasphemy case against her — which is potentially punishable by death in Pakistan. Having moved to the United States at this point, Rafya not only had to travel to Pakistan monthly for court dates in the custody battle, but also do it at great risk to her life, which was repeatedly subject to threats of everything from acid attacks to death. Rafya joined us to talk about her story in an absolutely riveting conversation. She described her initial marriage, her eight-year fight in Pakistani courts to get her daughter back, and what others in her situation can learn from her experience. As dark as this sounds, you'll also find yourself laughing out loud at her incredible sense of humor and infectious wit as we did. A truly fantastic conversation. Don't miss it.
