The Adnan Husain Show

In this fourth episode in the series Muharram for Anti-Imperialists: The Karbala Paradigm, Adnan speaks with geopolitical analyst Ehsan Safarnejad about his critical analysis of the "Islamabad" Memorandum of Understanding, the politics of Iran's engagement in the diplomatic negotiations vs. its military responses, and the special political/spiritual solidarity of Iran's street demonstrations and the meaning of Karbala for today's resistance to the Epstein Empire. Don't miss his unique insights and analysis!

his episode could equally be titled "ReOrienting History Islamically". Adnan is joined by historian of late Ottoman history and author of Why History Matters: Reviving Faith Through the Lens of History to talk about Eurocentric historiography and historical consciousness and whether Islamicate history provides alternatives and how global or world history might benefit from a reorientation. This is a crucial question not only for Muslims or scholars of history. It is evident that this history is understood principally through orientalist assumptions and frameworks that propose "western modernity" as the only standard for envisioning sovereign futures. As a result, rethinking and reorienting history is of universal concern and interest for understanding the human and envisioning a future beyond the hegemony of Western imperialist racial capitalism. What can studying not only Islamicate history but history "islamically" contribute to envisioning a just, equitable future for humanity? We'll ask Dr. Yakoob Ahmed and discuss the issues with you, so post your comments and questions!

Adnan and Sina (who departed early because he double booked!), Westoid Tankies sitting in comfort, try to convince Navid Zarrinnal in Tehran that Iran has won and he can make street cat videos forever more! The memorandum of understanding and Iranian public response is the subject of this episode and Navid provides insight and skepticism based on experience in Iran as well as the mood at atmosphere at the start of the sacred Shi'i devotions in the month of Muharram remembering the martyrdom of Imam Husayn at Karbala and amid continuing economic challenges.

This Guerrilla History series previewing and analyzing the major international football (soccer) tournaments on and off the pitch continues with the disastrous US/Canada/Mexico hosted World Cup 2026. Amid war on Iran, anti-immigrant ICE terror gangs, dismal initial attendance numbers and astronomical costs, this world cup looks to be one of the worst in history. No wonder there have been calls to boycott it and the US. A terrific global panel joins Guerrilla History hosts Adnan and Henry to discuss the geopolitics of the once beautiful game and review the myriad ways this world cup violates the spirit of sport. Gazan journalist Abubaker Abed , Resistance is Fertile podcast co-host Indi.ca, and returning panelist and great friend of both Guerrilla History and the Adnan Husain Show Latin American historian Alex Aviña will break this down. Join us live Tuesday June 9th, 2pmET/7pmDublin/9pmKazan/12amColombo.

Adnan and Marc explore the name al-Rabb, which is usually translated at "The Lord" but with elements of educative and nourishing dimensions. Some even translate the name as "Nourisher". Although this is not one of the 99 names listed in typical devotional traditions, this self-description or name appears early in the Qur'an in its opening chapter, Surah Fatiha, in the verse "Praise be to Allah, Lord of the Worlds." Al-Tilimsani discusses it, so Marc and I reflected on the themes of Lordship and Servanthood in the psychological and experiential schemes of Sufi understanding of this name as well as our own reflections. As ever, we try to orient our discussion not only around examining the meanings but also the mechanisms of the names for spiritual and psychological development and activation. Also as usual, we find social value as well in the effort to explore the Names in contemporary times. Join us!

Adnan and Benji in this collaboration with Resistance is Fertile podcast continue their conversation with Radhika Desai about the latest developments in geopolitical economy. We discuss the consequences of Iran's restriction of commercial trade through the Strait of Hormuz for dollar hegemony and more broadly on the global economy. We'll learn about swap lines and the UAE and other gulf economic vulnerabilities. Perhaps we will also assess the view that China is the key target of the Iran War and the theory that global energy control has been the main strategic goal of US interests. Ahead of the Trump-Xi summit it will be useful to examine and understand China's position during the imperialist war in West Asia. Post your questions in case we have time to get to them too!

As part of this channel's effort to explore the theme of religion and resistance and to understand the Islamic resistance confronting US-Israeli empire, Adna speaks with scholar, translator, and historian of Islamic political movements, Mujamma Haraket. We explore the emergence of the Islamic Resistance in Palestine and its roots in anticolonial era and Muslim Brotherhood organizing in previous decades. In particular, Mujamma dispells myths and exposes their particular use to discredit Hamas by examining the source of contentions that Israel created or supported its "as a counterweight" to the secular nationalist PLO movement. This revealing and illuminating historical analysis based on careful assessment of the evidence and documentation. We also discuss the use of collaborationist gangs in Gaza and their Salafist or more properly "Madkhalist" Islamist orientations meant to undermine the resistance. A fascinating and learned discussion with an expert scholar.
