Note: This episode is in English and we're joined by my co-host Farhangez Saeedi.

Pashtana Durrani is a remarkable figure and a powerful voice in the space of women's education in Afghanistan. In this episode, Pashtana delves into her inspiring journey from the refugee camps of Quetta to the prestigious halls of Harvard. She passionately discusses her organisation, Learn Afghanistan, its vital role in providing education to Afghan girls, and its vision for the future. Pashtana shares insights from her recent book, 'Last to Eat, Last to Learn', and sheds light on the current situation of girls and women in Afghanistan, including her experiences from her recent trips to Kandahar and Helmand. Also, don't miss our rapid-fire round, where Pashtana answers a series of quick questions, offering a unique and personal glimpse into her thoughts and personality.

Learn Afghanistan operates within Afghanistan's challenging landscape, striving to bring education to girls who might otherwise miss out. The organisation has already celebrated the graduation of numerous girls, a beacon of hope in a situation often seen as bleak. Pashtana's stories of these achievements highlight the possibility of change and progress, even in the toughest conditions.

Ep99. On Islam and Western values (خط روشن بین خیر و شر)

In this episode I discuss the complex and often misunderstood topics of Islam, Islamism, Jihad, and Islamophobia, particularly in the context of the rising threat of Islamic terrorism in the West. 

Drawing insights from Sam Harris' recent thought-provoking blog post, "Campus Protests, Antisemitism, and Western Values," I explore the nuanced distinctions between Islamic beliefs and radical ideologies, the impact of these issues on Western societies, and the ongoing challenge of balancing security with tolerance. Don't miss this in-depth discussion that aims to shed light on these urgent and controversial matters.
