Join Raza Ahmed and Danayal Zia for Friday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘Free Speech and Palestine’ and Response to ‘Satanic Verses’ Free Speech and Palestine Free Speech is championed in the West. But recent events with Columbia student and Palestinian activist, Mahmoud Khalil, show us that maybe that’s only when it favours a certain narrative. Why is speaking up for Palestine and the plight of innocents being murdered by war crimes seen as a crime in itself? Is free speech under threat in today's world? Join us as we discuss how free 'free speech' really is and why Palestine is such a contentious issue. Response to ‘Satanic Verses’ Salman Rushdie's book 'The Satanic Verses' caused controversy around the world with its allegations against Islam. Parts of his book raise allegations against the Holy Prophet of Islam ﷺ & the Holy Quran, whilst others ridicule Islamic figures and general beliefs. Muslims of course deny these allegations, but what is the truth of the matter? Join us as we go directly to the source of Islam and debunk these myths rationality. Guests: Abbas Najib - CEO of Better Communities Bradford, a charity uplifting the Bradford community by enhancing the availability of essential services, facilities, and knowledge for residents. Producers: Baasmah Nadeem and Fezia Haq
