Season 1. Episode 10. Law, Authoritarianism & Extremism

Saison 1 · Épisode 10

mardi 16 septembre 2025 • Durée 31:36

Authoritarian regimes often twist laws to serve power, not people. They justify repression in the name of security, silence critics under legal cover, and dismantle freedoms that laws should protect. These realities shape the daily lives of millions living under authoritarianism and extremism.
Dr. Fereydoon Rahmani, in our latest scholarly podcast with WAEN, has unpacked these dynamics in detail.

Season 1. Episode 9. Tech in Authoritarian Regimes

Saison 1 · Épisode 9

samedi 16 août 2025 • Durée 23:31

Authoritarian regimes are no longer relying only on force; they are weaponizing technology to control what people see, hear, and even think. From censorship and firewalls to sophisticated propaganda, the digital space has become a battlefield where power is contested. Technology companies stand at a crossroads, balancing profit and politics, while civil society struggles to preserve democratic freedoms. But can authoritarian control truly dominate a world that is more connected than ever? What role should tech companies play when human rights are at stake? And is civil society strong enough to resist the growing tide of digital repression?

These are the questions explored in the latest episode of Scholarly Podcast with Kyle Matthews, Executive Director of the Montreal Institute for Global Security (MIGS), in a thought-provoking discussion hosted by WAEN President Abu Ahrar Ramizpoor.

Saison 1 · Épisode 8

mercredi 16 juillet 2025 • Durée 28:06

Why are more and more young people around the world being drawn to extreme ideas and radical groups?

In this timely discussion, Simon breaks down the roots of extremism, the warning signs of rising authoritarianism, and how ordinary people and communities can push back, safely and wisely.

Season 1. Episode 7. Islamic Political Jurisprudence in a Changing World

Saison 1 · Épisode 7

lundi 16 juin 2025 • Durée 28:28

What happens when centuries-old interpretations of Islamic governance continue to shape political systems in today’s world, often at odds with democracy, human rights, and gender equality? Across regions, from Iran to Afghanistan and beyond, movements draw on Islamic political jurisprudence as a foundation for their authority, yet questions remain about its relevance and adaptability in a modern, pluralistic society.

Can traditional Islamic political concepts evolve to meet the values of the present day?

To explore this important question, we recently had the honor of speaking with Mr. Ahrar Ramizpoor, a distinguished scholar of Islamic and human rights law, President of the World Anti-Extremism Network (WAEN), and a former Human Rights Officer with the United Nations Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA). With decades of experience in legal scholarship, civil society, and peacebuilding efforts across the region, Mr. Ramizpoor brings a rare and nuanced perspective to this conversation.

If you’re someone interested in the intersection of religion, governance, and human rights, or if you’ve ever wondered whether Islamic political thought can coexist with democratic values, this podcast is a must-listen.

Season 1. Episode 6. Insights on Afghan [Regional] Extremist Groups

Saison 1 · Épisode 6

vendredi 16 mai 2025 • Durée 40:18

The rise of extremist groups and radicalization in Afghanistan and the broader region has deep and complex roots, shaped by a confluence of historical, political, and social factors. The Soviet invasion in the 1970s and the subsequent war with the Afghan Mujahideen laid the groundwork for the emergence of militant factions, as both external powers and local warlords fostered an environment ripe for radical ideologies. The fall of the Soviet Union and the power vacuum that followed exacerbated this situation, leading to the rise of the Taliban in the 1990s, who imposed a strict interpretation of Islamic law. Over the years, regional conflicts, foreign interventions, and ongoing instability have further fueled radicalization, with extremist groups exploiting local grievances, ethnic divisions, and economic hardships. The interplay of these factors has created a fertile ground for the growth of militant ideologies and the persistence of extremist groups in Afghanistan and its neighboring regions.

On 15 Aug 2021, the Afghan Taliban took power once again in Afghanistan that welcomed by the entire Islamic radical movements worldwide. Reports indicate close collaboration between the Taliban and other extremist groups like Al-Qaeda, Central Asian Islamic groups, TTP, and others in the region.

In this podcast, we will explore the extremist and radical groups in Afghanistan and its neighboring regions with Mr. Imtiaz Ahmad Baloch who is an Islamic-based journalist and researcher specializing in security and conflict in Iran and Pakistan.

In this powerful episode of the Scholarly Podcast, we explore the influence of madrassas on extremism and gender dynamics in Taliban-controlled regions. Why are madrassa students often stigmatized, and how does their limited curriculum contribute to a narrow interpretation of Islam?
