Omar and Parvez welcome back Sana Saeed to discuss the intersection of social media, politics, and the Muslim community. They explore the Mamdani campaign as a case study in Islamophobia, the evolution of online communities, and the impact of online and social merdia cultures on Muslim youth. The conversation delves into generational differences in online consumption and the challenges confronting young Muslim, male and female, navigating their identities in a complex digital landscape. The conversation explores the impact of algorithms on discourse, the rise of toxic masculinity in online spaces, and impact it continues to have on gender dynamics in contemporary society.
