This week, our host Salim speaks to William, a sociologist, about the issues we face on a community level. They dive into an exploration of the notions of "whiteness" and "meta-colonialism", and how they affect every one of us, in every day of our lives. William uses personal anecdotes to highlight how these concepts pervade our society, even today. The conversation then turns to the British establishment and how it has impacted the Muslim communities, commenting on the "don't make waves, make money" narrative and how it shapes our behaviours. Their discussion then winds down, approaching how to combat this system that preys on pushing this "ideal Muslim" model, giving examples of the influential Muslims who do so and how we can too.
