The Adnan Husain Show

Adnan speaks with anti-imperialist legal scholar and journalist Dr. Helyeh Doutaghi, a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Tehran and contributer to Vocal Politics, about life in Iran during the Ramadan War, revolutionary Shi'i populism that has been galvanized nightly in the streets, forms of social solidarity and social order in response to US-Israeli civilian attacks, and the centrality of Palestine and the decolonization of the region. A fascinating discussion with Helyeh's first hand observations and thoroughly insightful analysis. This is illuminating and inspiring! A must for anyone seeking to understand Iranian society during this war and its broader regional and global consequences. You cannot find such perspectives many places, so do check out this discussion.

Adnan joined Breht O'Shea on Revolutionary Left Radio for a deep dive into history. We are sharing it here for our subscribers to the Adnan Husain Show as a bonus and relevant extra! Thanks to Breht for the invitation and graciously allowing us to repost here. Check out his amazing, long-running podcast: https://revolutionaryleftradio.libsyn.com/ and on all the usual platforms. And you can support his efforts, just like ours, on patreon. Detalis at https://revolutionaryleftradio.com
Here is his episode description: 
In this episode, Breht interviews Adnan Husain -- Historian of the Medieval Mediterranean and Islamicate Worlds and Director at the School of Religion at Queen's University -- about the deep historical roots of today's Middle East. The conversation traces the arc from ancient Persia to the Islamic era, explores how Iran became a center of Shi'a Islam, and examines the long rivalry between Persian and Ottoman power. Along the way, they unpack the Sunni-Shia split, the political role of Turkey in the region, the ways Western narratives about Islam were forged through the Crusades and carried forward into the modern world, Zionist Expansionism, and the ongoing illegal war of aggression waged by the U.S. and Israel against Iran, and indeed, the whole region.

After too long a hiatus, Dr. Marc Applebaum and I have returned with the fifth episode in our series on the Names of God, centered around the Sufi mystical tradition of the 99 Names. This episode comes at the end of Ramadan and arrives into a world desperately in need of mercy, compassion, empathy. Following closely from its relation to al-Rahman, "the Merciful", in our last episode, this name opens further spiritual vistas. We examine some of these resonances and motifs and engage the discussions of al-Ghazali and al-Tilimsani in connecting our own experience and reflections on al-Raheem.

Adnan convenes another extra emergency livestream Sunday March 1st 8pmET--this time in collaboration with Resistance is Fertile Podcast-- on the regional war in West Asia that "Epstein Empire" has launched against Iran and the people of the region. We take a broad approach in situating this in the Gaza genocide sponsored by the West through the Zionist state of Israel confronted by the Axis of Resistance. We will examine the geopolitical and strategic situation on the second day of the illegal imperialist attack as well as analysis of global dimesions and ramifications within the imperial core. I will be joined by Dr. David Yaghoubian, friend and supporter of the show and historian of modern Iran and the Middle East at CS-San Bernardino, and the Resistance is Fertile co-hosts, Benji and Indica. It will be a great panel to answer your questions, respond to your comments, and take up your suggested topics. Join us for this continuing series!
