Episode 96: Malcolm X

Zaib welcomes back Sarosh Jafri to the podcast to talk about one of the most Iconic Muslim heroes of the 20th century Malik el-Shabazz, famously known as Malcolm X, to better understand this mindboggling personality, as an immigrant. 

It was the birth anniversary of the great Martyr recently (May 19) therefore the guys got together to talk in detail about his life and the impact he had on the sociopolitical sphere in America and beyond.

The guys talk about what made Malcolm X stand out compared to his contemporaries, which included the great Dr. Martin Luther King, how and what drew Malcolm towards Islam, and the impact of the Nation of Islam on both his life and the lives of American Muslims.

Check out this very informative and deep discussion about Muslim American Heroes, Islam in America in general, and the core belief of being politically active.
