🎙️ In this episode of the Real Talk Podcast with Terron and Roxanna, we sit down with Umar Lee to discuss his recent trips to England, Turkey, andBosnia.
The conversation begins with Lee reflecting on his time in London and sharing his perspective on its Muslim community. Other topics include—but are not limited to—Mohammad bin Salman (MBS) and the significant changes he is initiating in Saudi Arabia, where Lee responds to whether these initiatives could be a shock to Saudi society and lead to negative consequences.
📚 During the podcast, we also delve into two books recommended by Lee for the relevance of their content—pertaining to the phenomenon of online conversions to Islam and the over-romanticizing of Islamic history by Muslims.

What is British?British people or Britons, also known colloquially as Brits, are the citizens and diaspora of the United Kingdom, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies. British nationality law governs modern British citizenship and nationality, which can be acquired, for instance, by descent from British nationals. The British are a diverse, multinational, multicultural and multilingual people, with "strong regional accents, expressions and identities". The social structure of the United Kingdom has changed radically since the 19th century, with a decline in religious observance, enlargement of the middle class, and increased ethnic diversity, particularly since the 1950s, when citizens of the British Empire were encouraged to immigrate to Britain to work as part of the recovery from World War II. The population of the UK stands at around 67 million, with around 50 million being White British. This includes 44.4 million in England and Wales as of 2021, and 4.2 million in Scotland as of 2022. 1.8 million identify as White in Northern Ireland, including White British and other White ethnicities, as of 2021.
What is Salafi?Salafi refers to a fundamentalist movement within Sunni Islam that emphasizes a return to the practices of the early generations of Muslims. These are often described as the "pious predecessors" (al-salaf al-??li?). Salafis adhere to a literal interpretation of the Quran and the Sunna (the Prophet Muhammad's teachings and practices). The movement is characterized by its emphasis on purifying Islam from what it perceives as later accretions and innovations.
What is Islam?One of the major religions of the world, Islam literally translates to "submission," as a follower of Islam (Muslims) devotes their life to that of their God. The religion began with the teachings of Muhammad in the 7th century. The theology of Islam is based on the Qur'an, which was given to Muhammad by God. Some of the major fundamental principles of Islam include the Five Pillars, which hope to unite all Muslims into a community. Two different factions of Muslims exist - the majority are known as Sunni, with a small percentage known as Shi'a - both predominantly reside throughout the Middle East. Muhammad died in 632 AD and the religion of Islam formally started after his death. The Quran was formally compiled and finalised in 650 AD, prior to which it was 'memorised' and written across many parchments.
