An American Woman Fights for the Soul of Islam Parts 1 & 2
If you've been listening long enough to Common Threads you know that we champion the cause of liberal religion of all stripes. Here we discuss Islam and the challenges its adherents are faced with from a very conservative all-male leadership. In these 2005 episodes we speak with Asra Nomani, a thorn in the side of the Muslim establishment in the USA. Hers is a harrowing tale that could easily have sent someone else to convert to another faith. But Nomani does believe in the tenets of the religion of her birth, and is passionate about seeing it expressed as she believes was intended. Theme music "Nigal."
