In this episode, educator–organizer Muhammad Jalal (host of The Thinking Muslim) joins us right after the latest Gaza ceasefire to unpack what Muslim political organizing in Britain is achieving—and where it must go next. We dig into media narratives, free-speech crackdowns, and how independent platforms can still “move the needle” despite algorithmic throttling. Jalal offers a clear, data-literate read on demographics, coalition strategy, and the transatlantic lessons U.S. communities can use now. If you value rigorous analysis over rhetoric, this is a grounded, high-signal conversation you won’t want to miss. @TheThinkingMuslim
