325 - Mustafa Akyol (Reopening Muslim Minds)

American Freethought Podcast

I interview journalist (and senior fellow at the Cato Institute's Center for Global Liberty and Prosperity) Mustafa Akyol, author of Reopening Muslim Minds, in which he outlines how the Islamic world lost its way, and how it can move toward progress and modernity by leveraging traditions from its own past.

For more about Mustafa and his work visit MustafaAkyol.org and Cato.org.

Mississippi's Senator Cindy Hyde-Smith is against Sunday voting because...the Bible?

Feedback: A listener takes me to task for daring to imply that older people might have trouble grappling with complex topics like math and statistics, especially if they lack the proper academic or professional background.
