Crossing Faiths167 - Sumbul Ali-Karamali: LGBTQ+ Issues and IslamIn this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Sumbul Ali-Karamali about transgender identity, emphasizing its nature as a medical condition rather than a choice. She explains gender dysphoria as a debilitating psychological state with potential biological roots, highlighting the high suicide rates among transgender youth. Ali-Karamali asserts that, from an Islamic perspective, being transgender is not forbidden; she points to the absence of prohibitions in the Quran and Hadith, and the historical acceptance and approval of gender reassignment surgery by many Sunni and Shia scholars. She argues that Islamic legal principles, such as Maqasid al-Sharia (objectives of...2025-07-0748 min

(Funny and delightful!)
The Shariah-based system of laws and ethics would never have survived for a millennium had it not been equitable. Since the early 1990s, at least twenty-three Muslim-majority countries have become more democratic. Why isn’t the Taliban doing the same in Afghanistan?
Sumbal Ali-Karamali will be returning to “Be Bold America!” to discuss and explain her views regarding the fall of Afghanistan and the rise of Taliban rule. The Taliban say they are establishi...2021-08-3058 min"Be Bold America!"Demystifying Shariah and How It’s Not Taking Over Our CountryProduced by KSQD90.7FM
“Demystifying Shariah and How It’s Not" Taking Over Our Country” ~ “Be Bold America!” ~ August 1, 2021
Through scare tactics and deliberate misinformation campaigns, anti-Muslim propagandists insist wrongly that shariah is a draconian and oppressive Islamic law that all Muslims must abide by.
They circulate horror stories, encouraging Americans to fear the “takeover of shariah law” and even mounting anti-shariah protests with no evidence that shariah has taken over any part of our country.
Yet, we do have evidence of domestic terrorists, as FBI Director Christopher Wray referred to them, try to t...2021-08-0259 minAmerican Muslim ProjectDemystifying Sharia with Sumbul Ali-KaramaliThis week we are joined by author, former lawyer, and expert on Islamic law, Sumbul Ali-Karamali, to discuss the decidedly unscary Sharia law.Sharia is essentially a mass of religious guidelines, meaning the path to the watering place literally and the path to righteousness religiously. Essentially, early Muslims interpreted their holy text, the Quran, to determine rules for how to live, called fatwas. The collection of fatwas (fiqh) along with the Quran and Sunnah (practices of Muhammad) equal Sharia. Like many religious texts it is ancient, up to interpretation, and complex, even to our dear host and...2021-06-2337 min

Together she, Stephanie and Michael discuss the true meaning and rich history of Shariah, a term which is often profoundly misunderstood and misportrayed in mainstream media. Far from being a rigid set of religious rules which violently challenge our most basic human rights, Sumbul Ali-Karamali reveals Shariah to be a source of compassionate guidelines to be continually interpreted and reinterpreted, an evolving understanding of Islam itself, which is “me...2020-09-2859 min
Skylight Books Podcast SeriesSKYLIT: Sumbul Ali-Karamali, "DEMYSTIFYING SHARIAH"Through scare tactics and deliberate misinformation campaigns, anti-Muslim propagandists insist wrongly that shariah is a draconian and oppressive Islamic law that all Muslims must abide by. They circulate horror stories, encouraging Americans to fear the “takeover of shariah” law in America and even mounting “anti-shariah protests” . . . . with zero evidence that shariah has taken over any part of our country. (That’s because it hasn’t.) It would be almost funny if it weren’t so terrifyingly wrong—as puzzling as if Americans suddenly began protesting the Martian occupation of Earth.
