    2025/08/20
    In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, host Dr. Daisy Khan sits down with filmmaker Alex Kronemer to explore his transformative PBS documentary that reveals Islam's hidden stories of love. Explore how Prophet Muhammad's relationship with his first wife Khadija shaped the foundation of Islam, why the Taj Mahal is actually a monumental Quran with a message to the world, and the untold role Malcolm X's sister played in his transformation. Kronemer shares how these universal stories of divine love, romantic devotion, and familial bonds challenge Western stereotypes while offering healing wisdom for anyone facing heartbreak or loss. From ancient Persia to modern America, these narratives span centuries and continents to prove that love, not conflict, sits at the heart of Islamic civilization.

  • Unpacking Islamophobia: Why White Christian Nationalists Target Islam

    Unpacking Islamophobia: Why White Christian Nationalists Target Islam
    2025/08/14

    In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, host Dr. Daisy Khan welcomes religious studies professor Todd Green to expose the calculated strategy behind white Christian nationalist attacks on Islam in America. Todd reveals the medieval origins of anti-Muslim sentiment, tracing modern Islamophobia back to European Christian kingdoms' political rivalries with Islamic empires centuries ago. Despite Muslims representing only 3% of the US population, discover why white Christian nationalists position them as existential threats to American identity and Christianity itself. The conversation uncovers the psychological mechanics of extremist thinking, including the universal human tendency toward tribalism and Us-versus-Them frameworks that fuel religious bigotry. Todd explains how these groups weaponize shallow theology and inherited stereotypes, recycling the same fear tactics previously used against Catholics, Jews, and other immigrant communities throughout American history. Learn why Muslims face presumptions of guilt that other religious groups escape, and explore actionable solutions including interfaith relationship-building and foreign policy reform that could reshape public perception and create lasting change. Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and history’s unsung heroines reclaim their light.

    2025/08/05
    In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan, host Dr. Daisy Khan and human rights lawyer Qasim Rashid expose how Muslims have spent over two decades defending a peaceful faith practiced by 2 billion people. Discover the Cold War origins of Islam-terrorism associations, learn the true meaning of jihad as self-improvement rather than holy war, and explore Islam's detailed rules of warfare that actually prohibit harming civilians. Rashid reveals FBI statistics showing white supremacists represent America's greatest domestic terror threat, comprising 70% of mass shooters, while politicians face zero consequences for targeting Muslim officials. The conversation features Rashid's transformative story of responding to hate mail by fundraising for his attacker's sick wife, proving how authentic Islamic values of compassion can change hearts and minds more effectively than endless apologetics.Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and history’s unsung heroines reclaim their light.

  • The Islamophobia Playbook: Mamdani Campaign Exposes the Strategy

    The Islamophobia Playbook: Mamdani Campaign Exposes the Strategy
    2025/07/22

    In this episode of Wise Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Daisy Khan teams up with research specialist Susanna Keiserman to expose the dangerous Islamophobic campaign targeting Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic primary winner for New York's mayoral race. Khan, who faced similar attacks in 2010 during her Lower Manhattan community center proposal, breaks down the familiar playbook being used against Muslim Americans seeking political leadership. Discover the specific tropes weaponized against Muslim candidates, from "Sharia law hysteria" to terrorism accusations that have nothing to do with actual policy positions. Learn why Mamdani's focus on affordable housing, childcare, and transit issues gets overshadowed by fear-mongering about his faith and immigration background. Khan explains how these attacks aren't just about one candidate but represent a systematic effort to keep Muslims as second-class citizens ho should "stay in their place" rather than aspire to executive leadership roles. This episode reveals how Islamophobia robs Americans of substantive democratic debate and why judging leaders by their policies rather than prayer schedules is essential for true religious freedom.

  • Creating Interfaith Dialogue with Washington Post's Sally Quinn

    Creating Interfaith Dialogue with Washington Post's Sally Quinn
    2025/07/07

    Legendary Washington Post journalist Sally Quinn joins Daisy Khan for an extraordinary conversation about spiritual transformation, authentic faith, and the courage to create your own sacred path. Sally shares how she moved from atheism to becoming a woman of deep spirituality while founding the groundbreaking "On Faith" section at the Washington Post.

    In this dialogue, Sally reveals how she "cherry-picked" from different religions to create a faith that truly resonated with her soul, why the golden rule became the foundation of her spiritual practice, and how silent retreats helped her integrate the sacred and sensual aspects of human experience. She also discusses her latest novel, "Silent Retreat," which explores love and intimacy within spiritual community and shares her perspective on America's current spiritual crisis.

    This conversation touches on universal themes of authentic self-expression, the healing power of community gatherings, and why "being yourself" might be the most sacred act of all. Sally's journey reminds us that spirituality doesn't have to fit traditional molds and that sometimes the most genuine faith comes from questioning.

  • Juneteenth: Islam’s Hidden Roots of American Emancipation

    Juneteenth: Islam’s Hidden Roots of American Emancipation
    2025/06/19

    What if the seeds of American emancipation were planted centuries before the Civil War by a 7th-century orphan who freed his enslaved surrogate mother? In the premiere episode of Wise Women with Daisy Khan, Dr. Khan connects Prophet Muhammad's early abolition movement to the 10% of enslaved Africans who were Muslim – and whose descendants now represent 40% of American Muslims. Joined by educator Quran Shakir, this episode reveals how enslaved Muslim women braided escape routes into their daughters' hair, hid okra seeds in their scalps, and transformed quilts into freedom maps. From Bilal's call to prayer atop the Kaaba to Clara Muhammad's fight that legalized homeschooling in America, discover the spiritual resistance that shaped a nation. This isn't just history – it's a blueprint for modern liberation that connects ancient Islamic teachings to contemporary struggles for human dignity.

  • When Muslim Fathers Support Their Daughters: A Saudi Game-Changer's Story

    When Muslim Fathers Support Their Daughters: A Saudi Game-Changer's Story
    2025/06/13

    What happens when a father hands his bullied daughter a pair of shiny red boxing gloves and says "learn to defend yourself"? In Saudi Arabia, where women's sports were once completely banned, two fathers dared to see strength in their daughters instead of fragility – and accidentally sparked a revolution. Dr. Daisy Khan's father gave her boxing gloves that became her armor for life, while guest Lina K. AlMaeena's journalist father risked his reputation to publish press releases about his daughter's underground basketball team. For 22 years, Lina built Jeddah United in the shadows, using a commercial license loophole to train women athletes when sports were considered immoral for girls. Then Vision 2030 arrived, and everything changed overnight – women's workforce participation jumped ahead of schedule, driving became legal, and a nation transformed. Here's the contradiction: while fathers privately encouraged their daughters to be athletes, society publicly condemned women's sports as forbidden – until 70% of the population under 25 demanded change. This episode reveals how two fathers' faith in their daughters helped reshape not just individual lives, but an entire kingdom's future.
