Hi Alice! I absolutely love every podcast you have put out there and listened to over 80% of Rocking our Priors episodes. However, I have noticed that there are consistent audio issues which makes it uncomfortable to continue the listening process. I know that hiring an audio engineer may be too much work but given the tremendous content quality you put out there, please consider taking into account the quality of the audio as well, thank you! - your devoted fan.

this is exactly what it is like working in the nHS

I was trying to resist the impulse to write this but she's so hot!

Perhaps accountability should be at department level. Let managers weed out inferior caseworkers. If a child is injured or killed that is on the top manager.

Well I'm Egyptian. Let's just hope we get over the current economic crisis.

They dont seem at all mental

As a Muslim I like listening and reading Aaron Rock-Singer books 😁

I tried so hard to listen for few mins. Extremely poor quality of materials. She is interrupting the guy so many times. What does she want? To establish Muslim women are oppressed? You are so wrong. Islam gave the women freedom, self respect, honor and dignity. You know how? Go and read about our religion.

She is obsessed with gender separation as an indicator of oppression of women. Nobody buys this anymore. That’s why she has so few likes and subscribers. Even Islamophobes expect something new and more original. I listened to her podcast about India and Nepal, and she kept bringing up Muslims & Islam while on the other hand she mentioned Hinduism and Buddhism maybe one time and not in the context of gender relations. She explicitly blamed Islam (gender seclusion) for the poor state of gender equality in India and Nepal, where Muslim are a minority or barely exist. She is so biased she could not even hide her bias if she tried her hardest. But that’s the reality. You will get funding to demonize and dehumanize Muslim and Islam. That’s where the money is in academia. Lady you are berating about gender seclusion (which is idealized in Catholic and Orthodox societies except they unlike Muslims have a privileged priestly class that needs to maintain its exceptionalism in access to God, but you will never hear her bring that up because she is biased and selective how she uses higly anecdotal evidence) while the the Western governments and media are telling us that strapping a wounded Muslim too a jeep and driving around in West Bank is not using him as a human shield. Keep doing these interviews, your research, and podcasts to reinforce your own bias. Other than that you are kind of old even for the Islamophobic crowd! Everyone heard your story before invasions of Afghanistan. Your research might only be useful as far predicting where NATO will invade next. It seems the Central Asia, Egypt, & Indonesia might be on the radar next because they want to get there before the Chinese.

When i was in school, i could to wait to get out of the soul draining education system which creates faithful wage slaves. All the girls around me could not wait to leave school either. This obsession with Muslim women and education is disturbing. Not to mention how killing 1.3 million innocent people in Iraq and Afghanistan partly under the guise of freeing Muslim women fro Muslim men so they can get an education. Terrible.

🤢🤮

there was no such thing as the religion of ISLAM in the 7th century. Religion is a modern concept. the word religion was adopted into english in 1200AD. and the word DEEN in Arabic was never translated into English as religion before the 20th century. DEEN ISLAM simply means Submission as the way of life. it means the Quran doesn't talk about th religion of Islam and the prophet who lived in the 7th century didn't know anything about the religion of Islam. The prophet spread the teaching about submission (ISLAM) to GOD, he didn't spread a religion.

Fantastic insight

Wahabism or Neo-Salafism, to distinguish it from traditional Salafism of the late 19th century, has been highly corrosive. The view that one can be a Salaf and therefore supposedly a 'true' Muslim is just fooling oneself. You can be a Salaf as long as you are dreaming. The moment you open your eyes, it's more pretending and hypocritically following some defective ideology called Wahabism!

Dear Alice, so far as I can recall the narration of a woman scratching her v@g1n@ is probably from Ibn Fadlan and not Ibn Battuta. It happened in the realm of 'Russ' probably in the pontic steps and not Anatolia. Anatolia was populated by nomadic people (the Turks) after Ibn Fadlan's time. Isn't that right?

I was reading about how Nasser started PLO. And, then, after Israel defeated PLO in 80s, Hamas arose in the occupied territories with an Islamist message.

Thank you for your Video, I Like It. Terimakasih

You are totally deluded

why is the west so obsessed with islam = honestly man it's like a sick obsession = maybe focus on your own faith's and stop trying to destroy other people's faith

The concept of hell and heaven is present in almost all world religions and myths.

I think this professor is undermining the power of salafism. Pakistan was the most liberal, queer-friendly and tolerant of all islamic places until maybe 50 years ago. People really believe in hell, for god sake, do not undermine the impact of this belief. We have seen the impact of salafism in India.

More should know about Sufi democratic movement in Indonesia. Also, the guest seems comfortable with the role of Islam in politics and with a non secular society.

How many jews still live in Morocco? If the world want to know what is ethnic cleansing, learn the Morocco history.

LOL, someone has to tell them that muslims didn't take theirs history from a bunch of disbelievers. Islamic history is well documented by Muslim scholars like Ibn al-Athir and Ibn Kathir centruies before even Europe starting develop their own regional languages!!

The tolerance of the Islam come from Quran

Regarding the Islamic shariah modern revival; why should we follow the secular western deppressive way of life? The west were good at attaining materialistic success, but spiritually?? Then Christianity also had lost its footing in western belief system. So "coming" back to Islam is highly reasonable and emotionally attractive. So why not Sufism?? Well, you have to know even Imam Al-Ghazali also a Sufi but he also prays 5 times a day. This habit of having black & white dychotomy is just wrong. Also to grouping Salafi the same as Wahabi also false. So a salafi can also be a Sufi, not always on the extreme. So yeah we see the western enlightment were successful in their materialistic endeavour. But failed miserably in spirituality. So Islam provides the middle path to have success both in material and spiritual world. And not always dycotomised both, e.g. science vs. religion and materialism vs. spirituality.

The University of al-Qarawiyyin in Fez, Morocco, founded in 859 AD, is recognized by UNESCO as the. oldest existing degree-granting university.

the basis is totally false: the Arab empire is born without any 'islamic' movement inspiring it

She really has to control her facial expressions if you turn off the volume and whatch seems like she is on some kind of x- rated channel holly shit seems like she is having orgasm

Umm Qirfa In this year a raiding party led by Zayd b. Harithah set out against Umm Qirfah in the month of Ramadan. During it, Umm Qirfah (Fatimah bt. Rabiah b. Badr) suffered a cruel death. He tied her legs with rope and then tied her between two camels until they split her in two. She was a very old woman. Her story is as follows. According to Ibn Humayd- Salamah-Ibn Ishaq-'Abdallah b. Abi Bakr, who said: The Messenger of God sent Zayd b. Harithah to Wadi al-Qura, where he encountered the Banu Fazarah. Some of his companions were killed there, and Zayd was carried away wounded from among the slain. One of those killed was Ward b. 'Amr, one of the Banu Sa'd b. Hudhaym: he was killed by one of the Banu Badr [b. Fazarah]. When Zayd returned, he vowed that no washing [to cleanse him] from impurity should touch his head until he had raided the Fazarah. After he recovered from his wounds, the Messenger of God sent him with an army against the Banu Fazarah. He met them in Wadi al-Qura and inflicted casualties on them. Qays b. al-Musahhar al-Ya'muri killed Mas'adah b. Hakamah b. Malik b. Badr and took Umm Qirfah prisoner. (Her name was Fatimah bt. Rabi'ah b. Badr. She was married to Malik b. Hudhayfah b. Badr. She was very old woman.) He also took one of Umm Qirfah's daughters and 'Abdallah b. Mas'adah prisoner. Zayd b. Harithah ordered Qays to kill Umm Qirfah, and he killed her cruelly. He tied each of her legs with a rope and tied the ropes to two camels, and they split her in two. Then they brought Umm Qirfah's daughter and 'Abdallah b. Mas'adah to the Messenger of God.

great input Alice

Thank you

😂

Could you lend me a bit of your enthusiasm?

Excelent. Many thnks Endeed Dr Evans for share this great content with Dr. Acemoglu

Brilliant. Thank you for organizing this!

Why is it seen as a great development for women to spend less time with their husband and family and more with a boss who hates them? What is the evidence that women generally want economic freedom and self-sufficiency, away from their significant other? What is the evidence that mothers who work to provide for their family feel happier than mothers who work by choice or choose not to work in order to raise their kids? Same goes for men who spend more time with family, compared to men who go out and spend most of their time working. Why are people trying to make the point that women and men have the same goals? What do you say of declining female happiness, increasing divorce rates, and what some claim is to be the decline of the family structure? I am not saying that women should be forced to stay indoors. I am saying - why is the highest good in male-female relations considered to be the situation where both husband and wife have a job away from home, and both have equal roles to their family? There are so many unanswered questions, and to me it seems that this way of thinking has completely misrepresented the lives and ambitions of most women (and men) and has hijacked the conversation in favor of political conversion and a certain type of indoctrination.

There appears to have been an agenda out of ego to brainwash women into persuing professional careers or they are shamed, and for men to think of women needing money from them as evil and that they are being 'used'. Marriage counsellors are now saying love has nothing to do with money, which is contrarywise to the survival rate of a woman's offspring being dependent on a mans access to resources. Women in the workforce is spoiling the chances for men to be breadwinners as women instinctively think less of men who earn equal or less than themselves, moreover the supply of workforce participants doubling relative to necessary demand, has driven wages lower relative to purchasing power. Religious institutions have even become non traditional and have not been publicly doing enough to speak out against this evil agenda.

What a crazy woman... Clearly she resents men, her father left her

Is assertiveness, a substitute for ... clarity?

Oh hey, you've finally got comments opened. Just a small question, wouldn't restricting corporate donations just drive the money underground. Official 1st world 'lobbying' will become 3rd world 'corruption'. What could be an effective way to regulate election money, so that every candidate can raise funds for his campaign and ensure that sanctity of the position remains intact ?

All Medea is evil

Love your enthusiasm...as an American what's funny to me is that once we occupied the whole country (taking full advantage of all the untouched resources) we quickly created a socio/political system whose essential features (economic elite, etc) were and are pretty much the same as England's..actually it's not that funny-just ironic..we humans still haven't figured out how to govern ourselves well..

Bullsh*t.

Seriously, stop the BS patriarchal spin. It's called the industrial revolution not the woman revolution. A revolution driven by capitalism and the need for men to make profits... NOT unhappy women! Men haven't changed since 1820, but women have and continue to do so. It's only time before the western world becomes a Gynocracy.

Amazing, really had fun watching. Looking forward to more!!!

Rhhheeeeeee rheeeeeee

nice video, I'm studying about your video in my english class in college!! kiss from Brazil

Women in South Asia are very much involved in agriculture, much more than Europe in my opinion. Even today women are very much involved in agriculture in South Asia, most of the times more than men actually. Even in the jobs that require physical strength such as lifting sacks of paddy. On the other hand the lowest involvement of women in agriculture in South Asia is in North western part of South Asia, these areas also grow wheat much much more than paddy, just like Europe.

Someone should look into the cultural variations in certain soft skills like the ability to express oneself, self-control, time management, leadership, sociability, eloquence/articulateness, conscientiousness, creativity, etc. I believe certain cultures castrate and/or hinder the development of certain skills while others nourish and even promote them. (E.g. "the hammer that sticks out is hammered down" in Japan.) And I think this is an important relationship to study from a Darwinian point of view, because ultimately, we're all still living in a jungle, with a façade of civilization. People from different tribes are coming into contact with each other in a global village on a daily basis, and as they do so, they are bringing different competitive advantages and disadvantages onto the table because of their different cultural backgrounds, which can sometimes be attributed to wrong factors like personal agency (or its lack) due to the so-called Fundamental Attribution Bias. On a bigger picture, one can also be interested in cultural advantages and disadvantages at the nation level. In international relations, we often see countries getting contentious with each other (e.g. the game of chicken between the US and Turkey over ISIS during the Syrian Civil War or Turkey's policy of swinging back and forth between Russia and the US and trying to play them against each other), and which country will prevail over the other may partly be determined by its cultural advantages and disadvantages, as the political leadership in each country does its best to outsmart the other. The manipulative techniques that people tend to resort to at first and feel more confident about bringing it to completion and the "solutions" they come up with seem to differ quite a bit across countries. Veteran diplomats and spies who spend a long time in a particular country become experts on such issues.
