1.8 Islam: what does it really mean to be a believer? Science, faith and misrepresentation

August 31, 2020 • Rami • Season 1 • Episode 8

Growing up in religious families means that faith has always been a large part of mine and Joyce's discussions and world-view. But, with the increasingly secular western culture and misrepresentation in the media, religion has become another stigmatized and misunderstood concept. This is particularly true for Islam where ignorance and misinformation have led to rampant Islamophobia and discrimination. In this interview with Rami, we make space for a believer to educate and give us an honest insight into Islam's core values as well as how they interact with modern science and society.
