In this episode of Protean View, Muftah editor-in-chief Riad Alarian and managing editor Mohammed El-Sayed Bushra sit down with Salman Sayyid, a leading scholar in Critical Muslim Studies and Professor of Social Theory & Decolonial Thought at the University of Leeds.

Together, they explore a range of relevant topics, including the “Muslim question,” the intersections of Islamophobia and anti-Semitism, the genocide in Palestine, and the complex relationship between Islam and the state. Prof. Sayyid also shares his insights on the concept of defeat and the nature of resistance in its aftermath.

This wide-ranging conversation offers a deep and unflinching look at some of the most important questions shaping contemporary Muslim experiences and global politics.
