With Far-Right riots dominating the news, the question of whether this spike in racist outbursts, is an abnormal occurrence and a blip on the radar or whether it’s a phenomenon that is here to stay for a while.

Anas Altikriti talks with Weyman Bennett on the recent far-right racist riots and how they are likely to manifest in the coming days, weeks and probably even years.

They discuss how the target of racists are Muslims, and how this emerged and developed so that Islamophobia became almost normalized across the board.

The role of the new Labour government in combatting, or indeed exacerbating this issue is also discussed, with a look at the role that the Gaza protests had on the collective response to the racists.

While the outrage over Gaza is palpable, the Australian government remains silent, and to many actively complicit with Israel in the crimes against the Palestinians. But things are changing, or are they?

This discussion with Sue Bolton and Mohammad Helmy is fascinating for a number of reasons, not least because of the decades long involvement of both with bringing to Australia’s attention the crime of occupation in Palestine, and the attempt to make the issue of Palestine a political point of debate.

Anas Altikriti talks with the both of them and discusses the impact of the Gaza genocide on the coming local and federal Australian elections.

Islamic schools are a prominent feature within Australian Muslim societies, and among the greatest success stories one can tell. However, there are immense challenges within the sector, particularly in attempting to provide an exemplary education to Australian Muslims and Australia as a whole.

Dr. Zacharia Matthews is clearly passionate about his vocation, when discussing Islamic Education with Anas Altikriti.

Not only the brilliant achievements which he proudly speaks of, but also the challenges which cause him deep concern, particularly in terms of the role learners will assume within and at the helm of Australia in the future in all walks of life.

 He also talks about the impact of Islamic education and Islamic schools on Australian society and what real value and benefit this brings to the entire country.
