Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « ‘Radical’ Islam (Framing faith as fear) » and « Is Philosophy haram? » ‘Radical’ Islam (Framing faith as fear) Islam has long been labelled as a ‘Religion of terror’ and one to be feared, particularly since 9/11. Yet in reality, the almost 2 billion Muslims across the world have been living peacefully, and inspired by their faith, have contributed positively to their respective societies. Is Islam truly radical, or is this idea the result of framing by the media? Join us as we discuss the true nature of Islam. Is Philosophy haram? Philosophy and Islam have long had a tense relationship — seen by some scholars as dangerous free-thinking, yet embraced by great Muslim philosophers to deepen faith. Join us as we explore how reason and revelation coexisted in Islamic thought, why modern philosophy can challenge belief, and how approaching Islam philosophically might actually strengthen it.
