She has been featured in Time magazine and the New York Times. Her humor is described as shocking, but always has wit and purpose—most famously when she lifted a militant Islamic leader off the ground during a public debate, infuriating (and emasculating) him. (His complaint to the police went nowhere.) Brilliant, biting, and hilarious, Shabana joined us to talk about who she is and why she does what she does.

Meanwhile, Morocco is the latest Arab/Muslim-majority country to establish diplomatic ties with Israel, joining the UAE, Bahrain, Sudan, and to some extent, even Saudi Arabia.

This initiative includes giving students ID numbers to ensure they are attending school, and hefty fines for parents who don't comply. France has the largest percentage Muslim population in Western Europe, has suffered several Islamic terrorist attacks in just the last month, and Macron is receiving strong pushback as a liberal-leaning head of state.

He was known for his avid support of Pakistan's blasphemy laws and hateful rhetoric against Ahmadi Muslims and other religious minorities. One of the people Khadim Rizvi targeted by name is our guest, Shaan Taseer. Shaan's father Salman Taseer was murdered by his own bodyguard for alleged blasphemy, and Khadim's support for the murderer led to the founding of his organization, Tehreek-e-Labbaik.

He also got at least 73 million votes—much less than Biden, but more than any other presidential candidate in history, including Obama.

He put out a harmless tweet about how he finds Hindu goddesses (which, to be sure, are fictional characters) attractive. The online response was massive, vile, and threatening in a way he had never even experienced with Islamic fundamentalists. Within hours, “Armin Navabi” was trending on Indian Twitter. In this episode, we talk about this controversy and the victimless non-crime of “blasphemy.” Are Hindutva jihadists really any different from Islamic jihadists?
