E19: How the Internet Has Shaped Muslims w. Dr. Sahar Khamis
Description
The Ansari Podcast: Mahmoud Elansary and Dr. Sahar Khamis, 2 Muslim Americans, discuss how the internet has both united and disunited Muslims, the world needs more intellectual maturity, the Muslim middle ground is no where to be found online, silent majority of Muslims need to speak up, moderate Muslims don't feel like getting in online dialogues, Muslims not longer get information from scholars but from fools. They discuss the western medias anti-muslim rhetoric and how the media capitalizes on what bleeds. They discuss alot of Muslim parents wanting their children to become doctors and engineers, without room for entering creative and influential fields. Muslims should do what they're passionate about and put their mind to it. If Muslims want change, then they need to be an activist in every relationship and communication they have. Normal Muslim workers can have an impact. Lead by example as a Muslim and leave your Muslim bubble, accept others and others will accept you.
