Join our hosts for Thursday’s show from 4-6pm where we will be discussing: ‘War crimes stopped being shameful?’ and ‘Dying: the end?’

War crimes stopped being shameful?

With constant headlines coming out of Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond, the term “war crimes” has become a daily staple of our news cycle. However, as the UN and international bodies repeatedly warn of violations, a chilling questions emerges: Have we become completely desensitised to the unthinkable? Join us as we ask if international law still holds any weight, or if the global conscience has simply moved on.

Dying: the end?

Dying is a universal reality, and topics such as assisted dying raise important ethical and societal questions about life, death, and human dignity. In Islam, death is not the end but a transition to the afterlife, where every soul returns to God and is held accountable. Join us as we explore these questions through Islamic teachings on death and after life death.
