Join Aneeq Ur Rehman and Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: “Antibiotic Resistance” and “Fundamentalism”

Antibiotic Resistance

The number of people killed by antibiotic

resistance worldwide is estimated to rise to

1.9 million per year by 2050. What are the

risks and dangers of this happening? Join us

as we explore the causes of antibiotic

resistance and the urgent need for

prevention.

Fundamentalism

recent study shows that brain network

damage is linked to increased religious

fundamentalism, often associated with

criminal behaviour. However, religion itself

teaches values of love, tolerance, and peace,

leaving no place for extremism. True faith

advocates for compassion and understanding,

rejecting any form of violence or rigid

ideologies.

Far Right Hate

In this episode, we explore the ongoing rise of far-right hate in the UK, with tensions still high following riots earlier this year. Far-right extremists continue to target minority communities and asylum seekers. Despite the scale of violence, there were debates over whether to label it as terrorism.

Embracing Diversity

Tune in as we explore the challenges an individual might face living in a diverse community and how we as a member of a society can help break these barriers and aim for a harmonious society, drawing on Islamic teachings and modern examples of such challenges. We will further explain in depth what these challenges are in themselves and what are the costs of these barriers existing in a society.

A smile is worth a thousand words! It’s a unique gift of Nature to humans. The magic of smile instantly creates feelings of

happiness in our heart and radiates that happiness to whom the smile is gifted. It cheers up as a gesture of goodwill, a

greeting of friendship, hope, joy, love and harmony, superseding all cultural and language barriers. A smile springs from the

heart, shines through the eyes, and brightens the face, winning the elusive quest for happiness.

In Feb 2024 the Guardian Newspaper published an article entitled, “More than half of Tory members in poll say Islam a threat to British way of life”. It cited two polls: an Opinium poll of 521 Conservative party members from 7-16 February 2024, and another poll of 25,000 by 'Hope Not Hate' December 2023 – January 2024. Results showed that 58% of conservative MPs and 30% of the UK public think that Islam is a threat to the British way of Life.

Are these views valid? What are British values and the British way of life? Does Islamic teaching, and Muslims living in Britain pose a threat to this? We examine these questions in this week's episode of Pathway to Peace, highlighting Islamic values and British values are aligned.
