Episode Synopsis

Join Aneeq ur Rehman and Dr Tariq Bajwa for Wednesday’s show where we will be discussing : « Populism » and « Jihad »

Populism

From Britain to the heart of Europe, populist movements are gaining ground by turning politics into a battle of blame—targeting migrants, elites, and institutions to tap into public frustration. Join us as we examine how these narratives are shaping political discourse, from Reform UK’s rise to the growing far-right movements across Europe.

Jihad

Violence and extremism — the world thinks that’s Jihad. But that’s wrong. Radical groups have distorted its meaning, creating a global stereotype of Islam as violent. In truth, Jihad simply means “to strive.” Its real purpose has been forgotten by many. Join us as we explore the true meaning of Jihad, the greater and lesser struggles, and clear away the misconceptions.
