Salim is joined by Sheikh Jaffer Ladak and Sayed Ammar Kazmi on this week's podcast. They discuss current actions being taken such as protests and the BDS movement and importantly their effectiveness in making a difference to the situation in Gaza.

They also discuss the current political system and Salim poses the question as to whether modern mainstream politics is effectively broken?

Finally they explore what more people can do, from both an Islamic and legal perspective.
