Welcome to a new segment "How Did We Get Here?" In these segments, Tariq is joined by his youngest sister Halimah; the title is a heads up warning to expect the unexpected.

The conversation takes a turn, and inner-dialogue becomes the focus, then onto growing up in a generation without social media (and how their children engage it). They find their way into a conversation about bullying and internet trolls as well. By the time it's done you'll be asking yourself "How Did We Get Here?"

Ep. 761 How Did We Get Here? [11-14-2019]

Now, more than ever, statistics seem to occupy as permanent space in the debates of "casual sports fans." Arguments over who the better player is/was increasingly finds stats, for categories,that weren't even thought of 20 years ago, as major parts of the conversations. Helping us to make some sense of the rise of the numbers is Tariq K. Simpkins, a self-professed sports fanatic, and a graduate of Vanderbilt University, where he majored in Economics, and took a special interest in Sports Economics.

With the unexpected killing of Qassem Soleimani, the world watches on as tensions continuously rise between the United States and Iran. Will the hostility between both nations increase? Or will tensions defuse? Although hailed as a hero by some for his fight against ISIS, many others suffered tremendously at his hands throughout Iraq and Syria as he carried out Iran's foreign policy throughout the region. In this episode we discuss the accusations against him, his impact as an Iranian military commander throughout the Arab world, and the potential ramifications following his death.

On this episode of 'Radio Islam', I had the pleasure of interviewing Wassim Hassan of 'Traversing Tradition' once again, only this time around we decided to speak on his experiences in the western academy and the traditional madrasa setting.

On this episode of Radio Islam, LA-based screenwriter Marisha Mukerjee joins us to discuss minority representation in TV/film. We focus on examples of South Asian female characters and Muslim characters, but we also branch out into a wider discussion on what “good representation” actually means and where we see the film industry heading in terms of expanding its audience and the variety of characters we see portrayed on screen.

Ep. 775 Minority Representation in Film [03-05-2020]

For Muslims, civic engagement is getting out there and fighting for issues that they hold dear to them and infusing them with their values and how they act upon them by simply being Muslim. On this episode, Dr. Aminah McCloud and Imam Fredrick alDeen discuss using civic engagement per the model of prophet Adam, as mentioned in the Quran, and his role as an educated person to participate on earth (i.e. becoming civically engaged). They further discuss what kind of knowledge civic engagement tells  you to possess in order to be an effective citizen where you are in order to influence society in any positive way.
