From Iraq and Afghanistan to Donald Trump, MAGA and Pete Hegseth, Kennard argues that the consequences of those years are now playing out at the highest levels of American politics. We explore the rise of the far right, Islamophobia, US military power and foreign policy, and ask whether the War on Terror helped create the political forces reshaping America today.</p><p><br></p><p>Get Matt Kennard’s book Irregular Army here: https://amzn.eu/d/09zq5TXF</p><p><br></p><p>You can find Matt Kennard here:</p><p>IG: https://www.instagram.com/kennarduk</p><p>X: https://x.com/kennardmatt</p><p><br></p><p><br></p><p>Become a member here:</p><p>https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/membership</p><p><br></p><p>Or give your one-off donation here:</p><p>https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/donate</p><p><br></p><p>Listen to the audio version of the podcast:</p><p><br></p><p>Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7vXiAjVFnhNI3T9Gkw636a</p><p><br></p><p>Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/the-thinking-muslim/id1471798762</p><p><br></p><p>Purchase our Thinking Muslim mug: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com/merch</p><p><br></p><p>Find us on:</p><p><br></p><p>WhatsApp: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VbDYCfV5PO199ImLqZ34</p><p><br></p><p>X: https://x.com/thinking_muslim</p><p><br></p><p>LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-thinking-muslim/</p><p><br></p><p>Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/The-Thinking-Muslim-Podcast-105790781361490</p><p><br></p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinkingmuslimpodcast/</p><p><br></p><p>Telegram: https://t.me/thinkingmuslim</p><p><br></p><p>BlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/thinkingmuslim.bsky.social</p><p><br></p><p>Threads: https://www.threads.com/@thinkingmuslimpodcast</p><p><br></p><p>Find Muhammad Jalal here:</p><p>X: https://twitter.com/jalalayn</p><p>Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jalalayns/</p><p><br></p><p>Sign up to Muhammad Jalal's newsletter: https://jalalayn.substack.com</p><p><br></p><p>Website Archive: https://www.thinkingmuslim.com</p><p><br></p><p>Disclaimer:</p><p>The views expressed in this video are those of the individual speaker(s) and do not represent the views of the host, producers, platform, or any affiliated organisation.
