On one hand, the Liberal party has appealed to Muslim rights as a minority group, while the Conservative party aligns with our moral values. Muslim political involvement is a fairly recent trend, and our alliances speak to more than just our personal preferences. How can we secure our rights in a secular democracy while also pushing back against policies that go against our beliefs, such as the open promotion of LGBTQ ideas in our schools? Imam Tom Facchine invites Dr. Mobeen Vaid to recount the history of Muslim political involvement and activism, as well as to discuss ways to maneuver the political landscape while staying true to our faith. 0:00 - Muslims and American politics, pre-9/11 15:37 - Impact of 9/11 on American Muslim communities 35:40 - Muslims’ leanings to the Left in the Obama years 1:03:22 - Legalization of gay marriage and rise of the identity framework 1:25:56 - Polarization and Muslims’ political choices in the Trump years 1:37:38 - Can Muslims redeem themselves for past political missteps? 1:54:06 - How should Muslims move forward politically? #dogmadisrupted #imamtom #sexuality #identity #lgbt #yaqeenpodcast #yaqeen #islamicethics Click SUBSCRIBE and hit the 🔔 icon to receive the latest updates from Yaqeen!
