Author Rahim Thawer is here! On the ITBR, we love some discussion on cultural/queer intersectionality which makes today's episode an especially great listen! Rahim's anthology, Queer and Muslim is a powerful reflection of his time living within his identity.
Rahim speaks on his experiences as a queer Muslim man, the many misconceptions that people have between Islam and sexuality, as well as the "purity" of sex and society's encroaching puritanical views on it.

Queer and Muslim offers a compelling anthology by and for LGBTQ+ Muslims negotiating complex identities within the intersections of faith, family, culture, and community. Through diverse contributions including essays, poetry, and reflective letters, the book delves into the emotional and spiritual realities of queer Muslim experience, challenging the assumption of inherent conflict between faith and queerness.
