Throughout history, freethinkers have outraged the religious with their wacky ideas about the virtues of free speech, reason, and, of course, eating babies. Now, God is dying—and it's time to dispose of his remains. From the pits of Hell, Satan sends two puppets of the imperialist West and the Zionist Jews against God, Islam, and tiny kittens to bring you their propaganda and conspire for a new world order. This is Secular Jihadists for a Muslim Enlightenment—with Ali Rizvi and Armin Navabi.

Critical Theory has been implicated recently in everything from the "woke" phenomenon prevalent on the far left to cancel culture. Obaid Omer has studied it extensively and joins us to make the case that it poses a serious threat to liberalism and reason. All three of us agreed that the anti-reason dogmatism inherent in these ideas are toxic to open discourse. But we disagreed (heatedly) on how enduring it will be, or if it is a bigger threat than the rise of the far-right. Check it out and share your thoughts.
