“I listen to your podcast regularly and I am glad you have returned with new episodes. However, what I heard in today’s show was appalling. Your guest claiming to be a “revolutionary Islamist” was nothing but a reactionary, bigoted, machista. He claimed the idea of American Muslims embracing LGBTQ+ or trans people as “abhorrent”. In fact, he was so emotional about those remarks that I thought he was a right wing white evangelical bigot.
As a Latino man (Puerto Rican and Mexican) I’ve had to unlearn very harmful views on race, gender, sexuality, and yes, religion. In fact, it is “revolutionary” to be brought up in NYC with all these isms around me and land in a much more open and democratic view of the world. Changing the reactionary catholic upbringing I escaped to have to hear a reactionary interpretation of Islam, is not what I expected to hear on ITT.
As a regular listener, I suggest you apologize to your base, inform that reactionary that he is no longer welcome on the show, and, as you suggested, do another show that shares another point of view that is more democratic, equitable, and embracing of our broader community. There are lots of media outlets that spew that garbage and you don’t need to create another one.”
