All the World Is A Stage
﷽
Welcome to Episode Twenty Seven of the Middle Ground Podcast. Myself, Imam Marc, and brother Dawud Aleman. As the poet Shaykh Zubayr, a.k.a., William Shakespeare once said, "All the word's a stage". From the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump to politics in America in general, it seems we are living, if not in an illusion, then certainly a fantasy. We continue our conversation from last week on French philosopher Jean Baudrillard's "Simulacra and Simulation". Strap in for American Psycho 2. As usual, we discuss all topics in light of the Qur’ān and statements from the Prophet, ﷺ.
