At the end of the podcast there are a few Urdu words, loose translation:Tarek: Go find your (future) kids a 'white school' - oh but all schools here (in Canada) are whiteMe: Oh yeah ... all schools here are white... whatever should i do now (sarcasm)Him: Is there anything left? (to talk about)Me: Whats left? Nothing. Tell me, do you at least now believe i'm a Pakistani woman?Him: Yes, yes I believe that.Me: Excellent. [Hopefully that will put all my, "Eiynah is probably a white man" trolls to rest]Anyhoo, if its possible, i think this convo is more bizarre than the last. We discuss Tarek self Id-ing as muslim, whether Pakistanis are comparable to racists and nazis, how my parents and Ali Rizvi's parents are supposedly genocide supporters (because Pakistani). His pro India/Hinduism bias....and... beef. link to Part 1: https://soundcloud.com/politeconversations/episode-12-part-1-tarek-fatah---sorry there were some tech difficulties with the sound.. first ten minutes u might hear a slight echo in places.

Episode 12 (part 1): Tarek Fatah

Tarek and I may agree on the basic fact that Islamism is a huge problem, that isn’t adequately being addressed....you’ll quickly see we disagree on many things as well. Starting from the weather :P But in more seriousness, I am a harsh critic of Islam, who is not a fan of generalizations against Muslims. I may be mistaken, but it seems to me that Tarek defends Islam, Mohammed while generalizing Muslims. The inverse of “attack ideas, not people” ....whut?....Join me as I try to understand....We discuss whether backyards are a Western phenomenon, the ‘White’ route to atheism, Trump vs. Clinton, Orlando, whether Ex-Muslims are worth your time or not....and much more.

Episode 13 - Lucien Greaves Cofounder & spokesperson for The Satanic Temple

After the last couple of episodes being stressful and debate-y, what could be better than a cute, fluffy episode on Satanism? <3 Here is episode *13* with co-founder and spokesperson of the Satanic Temple, my favourite 'religious' figurehead.... @luciengreaves . The Satanic Temple are an 'atheistic *religious organization*', don't believe in any higher power, supernatural stuff ---or satan, and love to use 'freedom of religion' laws to turn the tables on religious folk. Very politically active and politically relevant, compassionate humanists. You can join here: http://thesatanictemple.com/We chat about the use of RFRA (The Religious Freedom Restoration Act (also known as RFRA), is a 1993 United States federal law that "ensures that interests in religious freedom are protected."We also discuss "satanic panic" from the 80's, 90's and continuing on till today, where there is belief in conspiracies about murderous satanic cults. The effects satanic panic has on people who self identify or even listen to music, dress in a way that could have them identified as "satanists". We talk Satanic colouring books for children, homoerotic rituals over a Westboro Baptists' grave, how facebook is awful....and much more. Hope you enjoy the episode.
