In this episode, I speak with Mubin Shaikh. We discuss his journey into and out of Islamist #extremism, his work as an undercover operative in taking down the Toronto 18, and the evolution and growing influence of online extremism and radicalization. We focus on religious and political tribalism as barriers to critical thinking, interpersonal communication, and relationships, and how these issues are made worse with the viral amount of misinformation and disinformation online.
Thanks, Mubin!
