[@TomTom-wc6tz]

I'm in Iran. and I'm an atheist and we have hope for future in Iran

[@badgerlife9541]

Stay strong! Believe me, the whole world is hoping for a better future in Iran.

[@ferriveiro3101]

Maryam is so eloquent and clear-headed on these issues. I hope that more and more people will hear her and be inspired by her.

[@MrFredyazdani]

Thank you to Mrs Mamazi and Laurence for the excellent discussion.

[@EchoBlackOfDeath]

I’m an ex muslim from Malaysia. We have a secret atheist group here, there’s a lot of ex muslim but choose to live quietly than being exposed to danger and can be taken away to prison or death penalty. Few years back our government trying to track us down and its on national news. How crazy is that? Of course Malaysia are multiracial and multi religious country but it doesn’t mean there’s no oppression here. We do have shariah law here. SO PLEASE HELP US WITH TELLING EVERYONE WHAT’S GOING ON ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE LEFTIST MOVEMENTS IN WESTERN COUNTRIES.

Maryam is such a strong and brilliant woman. Thanks for this interview!

[@melissajones5985]

What in the world is wrong with students and faculty at Goldsmiths? Why would they protest against Namazie's presence on campus? It's such defining and ultra conservative position for a university to support. I wonder whether artists from Goldsmiths stood up against the fundamentalist direction of the school. They ought to. Otherwise their reputation will be and probably has been damaged. How embarrassing for alumni of Goldsmiths.

[@jamalkhan3708]

Awesome interview 👌

[@horatio71]

I think it was Steven Weinberg who said “With or without religion, good people can behave well and bad people can do evil; but for good people to do evil - that takes religion.” It is really time to put religion into its right place: a historic misguidance

I found this one... with NO commercials!!! 😎 Thank you

[@woody7652]

Thank you very much, Lawrence and Maryam!

[@dirzz]

Amazing podcast, thank you!

[@thegraphicsfactory]

Yep fantastic discussion... there has to be millions of people in Iran frightened to speak out and say how they really feel about Islam

[@sirousmohseni4]

Wow is right lawrence. Thanks for the conversation.

Thank you for your brilliant work❤❤✌

[@excelsior31107]

English is only my second language, but i can understand them clearly more than i can understand the explanation of the religious teaching in my own language.

[@hayatzor6249]

thats great

[@zied6456]

This interview is of public utility. Thank you both!

[@bubaks2]

Great conversation. I wish more of my religious friends would hear this. Most good kind religious people i know prefer to stick in their echo chamber. They don’t wanna listen to uncomfortable stuff that might raise questions towards their authority figures.

[@LloydHywelBevan]

Thanks both for the enrichment you afford - I'm 'soul' searching just right now & the spot you place is incredibly nourishing...

[@paulblease6029]

Very interesting and pertinent discussion - even if I am a few months late viewing it!

[@captainzappbrannagan]

I think it would be a positive thing to educate people more about how it isn't the Muslims that are bad, it is their religion, separating people from the culture/beliefs could go along way to reduce racial hatreds. We should feel sorry for Muslims for the evil doctrine they were born into, and forced to follow for fear of death.

[@SunilPatil-hs8wd]

In ancient India we took everyone who came as a refugee regardless of their religion and they were allowed to follow whatever they wanted, hope my India will be more stronger and the same will happen in future. I felt Sorry that you were not allowed to stay back after 2 years.

[@markheller197]

Thank you. An intelligent well informed discussion. It does sting when she attacks some of my "heroes." In her opinion. For heavens sake get some comfortable chairs for your guests.

[@i.m.gurney]

Onwards & Forwards Maryam (y).

[@ebousohna4398]

Thank you for standing for atheists/atheism. One Law for All is also doing a great job.

[@pfflyer3381]

It's good people doing good things in the "name" of god .Religions take the credit why do gods work? What is god doing?

[@TomTom-wc6tz]

As I am in Iran, I see that being left is so similar to being fundamentalist.

[@yourib5152]

Dear Laurence, it is not only going on this way in Angl-saxon society, France (with even a more compicated history with muslim countries), but university, politics, feminist and "anti-gender groups", France has the same trouble as you know, everything ("good and bad" here comes from the states, it is a global occidental problem(s), in my opinion, because were in a space of time where after dogmas and doctrines (theologic or politic) have colapsed, there is at the moment nothing that is build stongly for our this-day world, there is a kind of unhealthy conservatism as well on the left and the right progessists or reactionaries

[@yourib5152]

in what you say, if those groups where pouchased, they will disolve, so, if they look like average people, how to fight them when their groups are desoluted?, our problem in France lately, is thet the last of those terrorists do not operate with a group or organisation, and so are difficult to find...

[@liwimby]

What a beautiful woman 👏🏽✌🏽

[@englishwithmuzammal3596]

She is after Islam not Muslims; that sounds juxtaposition as what inflicted her due to people, not religion. It is an easy assessment to do. No offense.

[@pimianimavdo1523]

Very interesting interview. Thanks for this one as this woman is quite an interesting and good human. :) - As for the idea about religion being useful for those in power: At 1:06:22 you address power for religion. Historically, the pope during WW2 was made aware of the German’s extermination camps AND he choose to not take a stand against this publicly… What would compel such a inhumane posture? Simple, Religion has been in cahoots with power and there was a real chance at the time that the Nazi thugs would win the war. Now, why would a pope put his head at stake and pick a side before history decides who wins and who will be your patron? (Of course, this is a rhetorical question and quite easily cynical, but one can't argue with history, right?) Now, here is my *sigh* of disgust here towards religious morons and extremist. - Great show by the way. :) PS I look forward to your exchange with Chomsky about what she brought-up. :)

[@mukeshghimire1639]

She has a look of Nepalese.

[@सुदामाp]

Thank god I born in India

[@englishwithmuzammal3596]

Well, I am not into the fact that she is lying or making it up; that said, verisimilitude is far far away when examined, assessed, and evaluated critically by the lens of neutrality. Her personal experiences as well as the ensembles of others being persecuted at the brutal hands of Islamists, as what she is implying have nothing to do with religion. Seeing is not believing as mostly we get tricked by letting shown something having the other side concealed. No offense, Just a personal point of view.

[@siim605]

Nothing to do with religion? Right. When the prophet Muhammad said several times in the Hadith that apostates should be executed, this has no link to apostates facing death, violence or imprisonment today, correct? And I suppose when the Quran says polytheists and Christians are "the worst of all creatures", that has nothing to do with religious minorities in Islamic countries being attacked, oppressed or bullied?

No worry mine anglaise no much good

[@Dayta]

you cant imagine well maybe you can how much i dislike those fillwords like saying "you know" every 10 seconds ... you know ... it like . you know like if when like you know ... it ends up with anyway. the fact that i was not even capable but willing to tolerate and endure myself throughout the whole podcast speaks volumes about how important it is what is beeing said in between all those "you knows" :) i hope you forgive me my slight offensive speach hehe im sure we all have our quirks and strange habbits. the trick i suppose is to accept each other as we are but that just works if it goes both ways. in case islam wants me dead .. i dont have a problem with having "it" "removed" out of existence as well. and i wanna be clear its islam that belongs in a museum dead and burried not the people. i dont mind if some people wanna follow their belive system into the ground .. may their god be with them and keep them happy but to those who are trying to convince me should be armed with evidence or simply put go to hell as far as i am concerned ... and meet us all down there again in case it turns out god actualy exist .. but to be honest i think at this point there is already too much evidence that actualy prooves god does not exist at all. i like a good book tho but the bible or the koran for that matter are not even good books. why am i writing so much again its propably the topic that keeps me raging. how about we just ban religion :) i know it would be unfair .. so what .. thats what they are expecting us to be ok with .. beeing forced to what ever it is they come up with. i would be all in for turning that around and start with simple things like open up a bakery and everyone entering has to leave their phone and god outside and they have to activly burn a bible and a koran at the doorway to proove their worth as customer haha that would be fun

She, in justification and indictment, exposed herself. No offense.

[@tobiyarbrough5239]

Lawrence needs to familiarize himself with the strong Libertarian wing of the Republican Party. Seriously Lawrence, Republicans are trying to create a theocracy? Really? If politics can give someone like Lawrence tunnel vision what hope do we mortals have? Otherwise a great podcast as is the vast majority of Lawrence's conversations.

[@englishwithmuzammal3596]

I dunno how to say as I have never at a loss for words after listening to this all ears; most information does not hold water, while there are some facts, but that doesn't mean that you are on the right side of history. No offense.
