Homosexuality and Islam: Bridging the Divide

In our first episode in South Africa, we investigate the experiences and welfare of the oft-misrepresented queer muslim community. In the heart of Cape Town we interview Imam Muhsin Hendricks- the world's first openly queer imam- and learn about his work interpreting the Qur'an and confronting the use of its passages to propagate homophobic harm. As we address this sensitive and controversial topic, we seek to understand how one bridges the divide between their sexuality and their faith as a queer muslim.Thank you as always to those who continue to to listen and support us.
