Part one of this weekâs radio613 takes a critical look at a recent radio interview with Muslim Canadian Congress founder Tarek Fatah. The interview, featured on CBCâs The Current, explores the thesis in Fatahâs new book âThe Jew Is Not My Enemyâ. The author claims that his bookâs purpose is to challenge anti-Semitism in Muslim communities. Our analysis, however, suggests that Fatahâs unwillingness to acknowledge the realities of Islamophobia strongly discredits Fatahâs work and hinders the work of confronting anti-Semitism and building unity between Jews and Muslims.
Part two of the show features Malcahâs reading of âGoslin Dayâ by Avram Davidson from Wandering Stars: An Anthology of Jewish Fantasy & Science Fiction.
Music this week from Brother Ali (âGood Lordâ) and The Narcicyst (âPHATWAâ).
