Is Islam an American Religion?

A Texas governor branded a planned Muslim community a "Sharia city" and moved to block its construction. The residents owned the land. Zoning was approved. Every document the Constitution requires was already in order. What followed was the latest chapter in a quiet, decade-long legal war over whether Islam even counts as a religion in the eyes of American law.

How Sharia Become A Scare Word?

What if everything you've been told about Sharia is wrong? In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, host Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with legal scholar and author Sumbul Ali-Karamali to dismantle one of the most weaponized words in American politics. Together, they trace how a 1,400-year-old ethical framework rooted in protecting life, family, intellect, and human dignity was deliberately repackaged into a political scare word by the Islamophobia industry. Sumbul reveals the evidentiary standards that made punishments like stoning virtually impossible to carry out, explains how British colonizers actually found Sharia too lenient, and uncovers the historical links between Islamic jurisprudence and the English common law system Americans rely on today. They also confront the persistent myth that Sharia subjugates women, with Sumbul pointing out that the Quran granted women rights in the seventh century that Western women would not see for another thousand years. Fear is profitable, but knowledge is liberation. Tune in and discover why the real threat to American values has never been Sharia.

From a young age, she became an expert at answering them. That’s why, after earning her B.A. in English, with Distinction, from Stanford University and earning her J.D. from the University of California at Davis, and working in big law for a while, she got another graduate degree (an LLM) in Islamic law from the University of London (SOAS), with Distinction, so that she could write a book answering all the questions she’d been asked all her life. She’s written three books, in fact (two for adults and one for teens), which you can peruse at her website, www.muslimnextdoor.com. Sumbul is a frequent speaker on Islam and Muslims, for all ages and audiences. She has served on a number of nonprofit boards relating to human rights and justice, and has been both a nonfiction and fiction judge for the William Saroyan International Prize for Writing (one of her favorite jobs). In her free time, Sumbul enjoys opera, teaching herself the piano, reading (of course), and watching Star Trek reruns with her family. Oh, and she practices corporate law, too. WISE Women with Daisy Khan Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and history's unsung heroines reclaim their light. WISE Women with Daisy Khan gives voice to Muslims sharing their experiences with anti-Muslim bias, educates non-Muslims to become upstanders against discrimination, and spotlights extraordinary women throughout history whose contributions have been erased. We reclaim faith as a force for good while building bridges between East and West, transforming fear into understanding, one conversation at a time. We challenge disinformation with knowledge and empathy, confronting the weaponization of religion for political gain. This isn't just another podcast. It's a bridge between communities taught to fear each other, opening hearts and minds to build the understanding our divided world needs. Welcome to WISE Women. Where wisdom meets courage, and voices become bridges. News [Source: CBS Evening News] A man sent a hateful message to a Muslim candidate.

The Church Question: Why Anti-Muslim Bias Still Persists

A thousand years of anti-Muslim tropes didn't stay buried in medieval manuscripts. They followed Christians into modern sanctuaries, Sunday school classrooms, and even progressive interfaith circles. So what happens when two ordained Baptist pastors decide to trace the roots and rip them out?
