About this listen

In this episode I sit down with Dr Peter Henne, an expert on Middle East politics and international religious politics.

We dismantle one of the biggest clichés in global politics: the idea of a single, unified "Muslim world".

Using network analysis and historical cases, Peter reveals deep fragmentation among Muslim-majority states and shows exactly when leaders in Saudi Arabia, the United States, Russia and elsewhere reach for religious language to gain leverage, and when that strategy backfires

We also talk about the human cost: how repressing religion fuels migration, how diaspora Muslims live with politicised identities, and why Western policy and media keep misreading faith in international affairs.
