Masha'Allah a very good show. Definitely should be another show exclusively for Palestine only, informing listeners of the predicament. I also suggest that you have another person reading out the text as Zahid did not read my text out even though i text'd in 3 times. Although I will not hold this aginst him lol
I am still listening to this, but I have a few comments so far:
1. Palestine is not the whole world (also aimed at comment above mine).
I have not seen Somalia, Sudan, Nigeria, Sierra Leone mentioned at all so far.
As for Kashmir, it has been quieter because til recently there was a relatively peaceful half decade or more there. No one would be ramming the point home about Kashmir when it has been relatively peaceful. (however this year I think so far something like 50 demonstrators have been shot dead and major towns are under virtual lockdown through curfew.)
2. The show seems to be slightly frustrating... they were about to go into the history and decided to answer some texts and then forgot about it...
It seems to so far lack any depth and gravitas.
The phones should have been switched off and Doctor Jhangir should have been allowed to speak more - even without the interruptions of the presenters.

An interesting read on a similar topic - going from the fall of the ottoman empire to 9/11 to alqaeda threatening turkey now that it has some credibility in they eyes of the Muslim world.
(Which reminds me... why was turkey not mentioned?)

I would like to take issue with the words of Dr Jhangir where he talks about "Muslim land" and how Islamically it cannot be given away - it would not be about giving it away since Muslims are not in control of the land already.
It is not "giving it away", but accepting that it has already been lost.

I wish Dr Jahangir had gone into more history
how strong is Zahid Maqbool's Lancashire accent???
Saj is funny...
Same here. He was oh so close into doing tht, but then the bloody texts and calls started. So frustrating!

I think
to avoid that
what they could do is not read ALL the texts
so
if theyre jsut general "hi guys ur doin a great job good show" dont rad it out
just say we hav texts, many ppl saying theyre enjoying bla bla
BUT
instead
read the ones that hav a point to make
like someone's said something that could add to the debate
did that make sense
