  • EP 8 : Gender equality & LGBTQ+ rights in Islam - with Seyran ATEƞ - 🇬🇧

    In this episode of JINS Podcast, I am very happy to have one of the most inspirational human beings I have encountered lately, another female imam who fights for women’s rights and LGBTQIA+ rights in Islam, her name is Seyran AteƟ.


    📿 Seyran was born in Istanbul, Turkey, of a Turkish mother and a Kurdish father. She moved to West Berlin at the age of 6 with her traditionalist family. She left home when she was 17 years old to avoid an arranged marriage and she fled with her German boyfriend. She then became a lawyer and started fighting for women’s rights ; she basically devoted herself her whole life to helping Turkish-background women achieve their rights in Germany. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in 2005.


    đŸ§ŽđŸ»â€â™€ïžShe opened the Ibn Ruschd-Goethe mosque in 2017, located in a church, leading the way as a woman imam. It is the only liberal mosque in Germany today. Obviously, she has received death threats and survived an attack. Yet, she keeps on fighting for Muslim women’s rights & Muslim LGBTQIA+ rights, relentlessly.

  • EP 7 : Queer & feminist media in the Middle East - with Khalid ABDEL-HADI - 🇬🇧

    Hello my dears! Welcome to this new episode of JINS Podcast. 

    When I was a young child, the media portrayed queer people as devilish people. Words in Arabic didn’t even exist till a few years ago. You’d only hear about insults like “shaz” in Jordan, “zamel” in Morocco, “louti” in Lebanon, linking homosexuality to bodies who are penetrated, passive and perverted as the people of Loth in the Biblical and Quranic passages say. Words can be mean. Words mean something. Sometimes they mean the world to someone. 

    Meanwhile, you would hear people being incarcerated in Morocco, under article 488 of the Penal Code, because they were caught kissing in public or crossdressing or just suspected of being too “effeminate”. You would hear news about people being hanged publicly in Iran, catfished and then arrested in Egypt, kidnapped in Syria, shot dead in the street in Iraq, and imprisoned in Saudi Arabia.


    Queer people were never shown as heroes nor as champions. Yet, the whole world knows that the art world is full of queer people. The world itself is full of queer people. So why is it so important to hide them, their creativity and their beauty when they also have so much to show to the rest of the world? Why is it so urgent to give them a platform of self-expression in this part of the world? Why is it so allegedly dangerous for the status quo to show more emerging talents on international stages or magazines, who break all the rules and let their identities shine?


    To discuss all of this, I’m very happy to welcome Khalid Abdel-Hadi. Khalid was born and raised in Amman, Jordan, and has family with Palestinian and Kurdish-Turkish-Beduin roots. He graduated from Petra University in Amman in 2014 with a degree in graphic design and visual arts. Khalid Abdel-Hadi founded My Kali Magazine when he was in his teens, with the aim of providing LGBT-related content. Established in 2007 by a group of passionate students with various interests -- from arts and design to politics and activism — My Kali is the first LGBTQIA-inclusive conceptual webzine in Jordan and one of the most consistent in the region. My Kali strives to address social problems, homophobia or transphobia, to document the stories of the community, and to empower the youth to defy mainstream gender binaries and heteronormativity in the Arab world. Khalid is the Editor-in-chief and the Creative Director of My Kali, an activist, and a curator.

  • EP 6 : Sex, France & Arab men - with Todd SHEPARD - 🇬🇧

    Today's episode deals with colonization and its relation to sexuality and masculinity. If we read thoroughly Australian sociologist Raewyn Connell, “hegemonic masculinities” were constructed as white, while subordinate masculinities were reserved for people of color, less close to the ideal and closer to deviance. It’s also important to adopt an intersectional point of view here since we’ll be talking about a history that has been told for decades by the ones who colonized, overshadowing the reality of the ones who were colonized and seeking freedom from the oppressor. Yet, the fear of ideological rape and territorial penetration has grown in French people’s minds since the fifties. Algerian hyper-virility was opposed to a crisis of French masculinity, thought to be the cause of defeat in Algeria. The far right presented itself as the possibility of restoring a virile authority versus the quote “twinks” and “dandies” of May 68 who were deemed as too effeminate to fight against the Arab invasion. Apparently, it would have given the figure of the Algerian pimp – an engine of the Arab invasion in France according to the far-right - and that of the Maghrebi immigrant worker whose hypersexuality and sexual misery would lead to the need to resort to prostitutes and to relentlessly rape white women...


    Todd Shepard is a Professor of History at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, USA. In 2008, he wrote The Invention of Decolonization: The Algerian War and the Remaking of France and co-wrote "Guerre d’AlgĂ©rie : le sexe outragĂ©" with Catherine Brun in 2016. In 2017, his book Sex, France, and Arab Men, 1962-1979 has become in English-speaking academic environments the new reference on how “sexual Orientalism” re-emerged in post-decolonization French politics. So he’s the best person to go to for a nice discussion French far right politics, May ’68, prostitution, gay rights, sexual libertinism and rape explicitly grappled with questions of imperialism, the Algerian war, colonial violence, and post-decolonization racism.

  • EP 5 : Sexuality and erotology in Islam - with Habeeb AKANDE - 🇬🇧

    JINS is here to explore the areas that have been falling into the trap of taboo, haram and munkar. Yet, Islam is a sexually-enlightened religion which teaches that sensuality should not be devoid of spirituality. It will probably raise a few eyebrows with the prudes amongst us, but Muslims need a compendium of the science and art of lovemaking from traditional Muslim sources. What is the secret to female pleasure? Do Muslims have their own guide to passionate love-making and sexual compatibility? Can Islam still brag about its tradition of erotology? Does it change anything sexually to be Black, Arab, North African or Brazilian if we are Muslims?

     

    I’m very excited to introduce you Habeeb Akande. Habeeb Akande is a British-born writer, sexologist, historian of Nigerian, or more precisely, Yoruba descent. He is an alumnus of al-Azhar University in Egypt and Kingston University in the UK. He is the author of seven published books on race and sex in African and Muslim cultures. After writing this tetralogy, Habeeb’s work has gained momentum with a best-selling trilogy: A Taste of Honey, Women of Desire and Kunyaza.


    His main research interests include women's sexual rights, eroticism and the female orgasm in Islam and African cultures. As a public speaker and sex educator, Habeeb carries out workshops on the clitoris and female ejaculation at international conferences and leading universities. He featured in the BBC documentary, The Orgasm Gap (2020), which explored teaching female pleasure in Rwanda and the UK. Taking this knowledge from Prophetic wisdom, Habeeb Akande has explored every avenue of the subject with extensive reference to the great Islamic scholastic tradition.

  • ÉP 4 : Islam non-arabe et afrofĂ©minisme - avec Ndella PAYE

    Dans JINS, on parle d’islam, d’islamophobie, de sexisme, de sexe, de racisme
 Mais je voulais aussi dĂ©dier un Ă©pisode entier sur le racisme intra-communautaire et sur l’identitĂ© musulmane construite invariablement autour de l’arabitĂ©. 

    Le Pew Research Center Ă©tablissait 5 millions de personnes de confession musulmane en 2010 (7,5 % de la population totale française) et prĂ©voit une augmentation Ă  10,3 % de la population française en 2030, n’en dĂ©plaisent Ă  celles et ceux qui veulent reconquĂ©rir la France. Ce qui en fait le pays avec la plus grande proportion de musulmans. 

    Les Ÿ des musulmans de France se trouvent ĂȘtre originaire d’un des pays du Maghreb. Mais attention ! Dans la communautĂ© musulmane mondiale, l’Oumma, les Arabes sont minoritaires. MĂȘme s’il est impossible d’avoir des statistiques claires sur la religion en France – car c’est interdit par la loi -, je peux d’ores et dĂ©jĂ  dire qu’on oublie souvent de mentionner les personnes Afrodescendantes, Africaines, AfropĂ©ennes musulmanes. Le passĂ© colonial français a impliquĂ© la prĂ©sence de beaucoup de personnes musulmanes du SĂ©nĂ©gal, du Mali ou du Burkina Faso. Il y a 330 millions de musulmans en Afrique subsaharienne. Le ProphĂšte n’a-t-il pas dĂ©clarĂ© lors de son sermon final :

    « Ô gens ! Vous avez un seul Dieu et vous venez d’un seul pĂšre ! Il n’y a pas de diffĂ©rence entre un Arabe et un non-Arabe, ni entre un Blanc et un Noir, si ce n’est par la piĂ©tĂ©. »


    Ndella Paye est une militante afrofĂ©ministe et antiraciste. C’est une femme noire musulmane fĂ©ministe intersectionnelle et dĂ©coloniale, française d’origine sĂ©nĂ©galaise. Elle est aussi thĂ©ologienne et islamologue, titulaire d’une licence d’arabe. Elle lutte contre tous les discours misogynes, nĂ©grophobes, nĂ©ocolonialistes, islamophobes et LGBTQIAphobes qui traversent le panel mĂ©diatique en participant Ă  des confĂ©rences, chroniques ou films documentaires.

  • EP 3 : Intimate life in a changing Arab world - with Shereen EL FEKI - 🇬🇧

    JINS means "sex" in Arabic. Just by saying it, some people will already say that I have gone too far. Why are we so afraid to talk about it that we prefer to keep quiet, to be frustrated, to hide? Are Arabs prudes? Everything in history tends to show the contrary. So, without making a comparative study between countries, is there really a pan-Arab anti-sexuality or is it more insidious and complex than that? Don't they also have the right to pleasure? 


    🙌 Shereen El Feki is a writer, journalist, broadcaster and academic. Shereen started her professional life in medical science, with a PhD in immunology from the University of Cambridge, and later worked as healthcare correspondent at The Economist. She also is a former vice chair of the United Nations' Global Commission on HIV and Law. While she has worked in regional media as a presenter with the Al Jazeera Network, and continues to write on social issues in the Arab world, her passion lies in projects that aim to better understand, and surmount, the social challenges facing Arabs, specifically young people. She’s most notable for her book Sex and the Citadel, that she wrote in 2013.

  • EP 2 : Women as imams - with Ani ZONNEVELD - 🇬🇧

    🙌 Hello hello my dear listeners! 

    So happy to be back for season 2. As you know, JINS Podcast was born about a year ago, reaching 150,000 streams for more than 60 episodes! I’ve been discussing very specific matters around feminism, sexuality, gender and love within the Arab and/or Muslim communities. I ended season 1 talking about the inward dimension of Islam, how Sufis are spreading out a vision of Islam as a religion of peace and love and how women are substantially and ontologically equal to men in respect of humanity. I wanted to start this new season with a quote from the “Great Master” Ibn Arabi, probably the most influential Muslim scholar of all time, who was a mystic, poet and philosopher and who is at the origin of Sufism, which is the mystical expression of Islamic faith. “Humanity unites male and female, and in it maleness and femaleness are contingencies, not a human reality”. Therefore, he agreed that women should be able to lead the prayer unconditionally and praised women’s spiritual aptitude. 


    đŸ”„ I had the opportunity to talk with an amazing human being: Ani Zonneveld. Ani was born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. She now lives in LA, California. She’s a successful singer, song-writer, activist and writer. She even participated in the writing of Grammy-winning songs! She is also the president and founder of MPV (Muslims for Progressive Values), a non-profit organization in the United States that creates inclusive communities that welcome and support interfaith marriages, gay marriages, gender & sexual minorities. She has been constantly raising awareness around Islam as a religion of peace. Last but not least, she’s one of the most-known women imams in the world!

  • ÉP 1 : IntersectionnalitĂ©, non-binaritĂ© et dĂ©colonisation du dancefloor - avec HABIBITCH

    Bienvenue dans ce 1er Ă©pisode de JINS saison 2 ! On ouvre le bal avec un sujet qui reprĂ©sentera bien l’idĂ©e de la saison 2, soit encore : faire briller les identitĂ©s ! Aujourd'hui on aborde des thĂ©matiques super militantes et encore plus poussĂ©es que dans les Ă©pisodes de la saison 1. On va parler d’intersectionnalitĂ© au sens de KimberlĂ© Crenshaw, de wokisme et de dĂ©colonisation du dancefloor. Vous vous dites 
 mais what ? De quoi il nous parle celui-lĂ  ? Eh bien comme vous le savez, JINS s’attaque frontalement aux discriminations et oppressions multiples basĂ©es sur l’identitĂ© de genre. On va aussi parler d’un sujet en vogue mais qui a toujours existĂ©, y compris dans les cultures arabes et/ou musulmanes : les personnes queer et en particulier les personnes non-binaires. Il s’agira de voir Ă  quel point ils, elles et iels ont rĂ©ussi Ă  construire, par-delĂ  la marginalisation, l’ostracisation et la sĂ©grĂ©gation, leurs propres moyens d’expression, fabuleux, colorĂ©s et toujours plus en mouvement. 


    Pour parler de tout ça, qui de mieux que la gĂ©nialissime Habibitch. Au-delĂ  d’ĂȘtre son premier fan, ce qui est trĂšs difficile parce que 40,000 autres personnes s’en rĂ©clament aussi, j’avais trĂšs envie de vous livrer son discours intersectionnel et dĂ©colonial. C’est une artiste talentueuse, danseur, chorĂ©graphe nord-af, made in Kabylie, activiste, confĂ©renciĂšre. Elle se dĂ©finit comme une personne non-binaire "fem boss". Il est queer,  fĂ©ministe dĂ©coloniale, elle est Godmother de la scĂšne ballroom House of Gucci Ă  Paris. Il a eu un parcours universitaire brillant et enseigne dĂ©jĂ  Ă  Science Po Paris ou Ă  l’ENS. Elle transforme les espaces de danse en espaces politiques. Bref ! Category is: Habibitch!


    Merci Ă  Kikina Studio de produire cette saison 2 !

  • JINS Podcast Saison 2 - Manifesto

    On nous dit que ...

    🙊 “La sexualitĂ©, c’est tabou” ...

    🙉 “Parler de sexe et d’islam, c’est hram” ...

    Et puis on entend à la télé, et puis sur les médias, et puis sur Instagram ...

    âœ‹đŸœ Je dis STOP.

    Dans la saison 1 de JINS Podcast, nous avons dit STOP aux mythes et mythos qui entretiennent les injustices, les discriminations, les humiliations et les oppressions qui pÚsent sur toutes celles, tous ceux et toustes celleux qui ne rentrent pas dans une norme identitaire : de genre, de sexualité, de race, de religion ou de classe.

    đŸ’„ Nous avons dĂ©construit un Ă  un les stĂ©rĂ©otypes et les tabous qui entourent la sexualitĂ© et l’identitĂ© des personnes arabes et/ou musulmanes grĂące Ă  des islamologues, Ă  des sociologues, Ă  des anthropologues, Ă  des sexologues et Ă  des auteur.ices qui sont venu.es partager leurs connaissances et leur savoir prĂ©cieux dans 60 Ă©pisodes.

    Aujourd’hui, JINS Podcast revient pour une saison 2 haute en couleur, car il y a toujours urgence, urgence d’aller plus loin.

    đŸŽ™ïž Oui, cette nouvelle saison, nous ferons donc entendre encore plus fort les voix qui brisent les tabous, qui osent parler de tout ce qui se dit tout bas, ce qui ne se dit pas et ce qui devrait ĂȘtre dit.

    ✹ Nous ferons briller TOUTES les identitĂ©s et TOUTES les personnes qui les incarnent.

    🌍 Nous ferons exploser les frontiĂšres gĂ©ographiques et linguistiques pour nous ouvrir sur le monde.

    🌉 Nous construirons des ponts et nous dĂ©foncerons des murs.

    Nous continuerons d’ĂȘtre un lieu d’écoute et de nuance, Ă  contre-courant des dĂ©bats et des mĂ©dias anxiogĂšnes qui attisent la haine.

    💛 Nous ferons de cette rĂ©volution sexuelle et spirituelle une rĂ©volution pacifique, inclusive, fĂ©ministe, intersectionnelle et Ă©clairĂ©e.

    đŸ€œđŸżÂ đŸ€›đŸŒ Nous irons encore plus loin, ensemble.

    Alors, bienvenue dans JINS saison 2.
