EP78: Beating Bigotry With A Smile: Veedu Vidz

Watch the video version of this conversation (for patrons): https://www.patreon.com/posts/beating-bigotry-22868589  We speak to the wonderful, hilarious, and increasingly popular Veedu Vidz, the ex-Muslim satirist and YouTube commentator who has gained a massive, growing audience by using comedy to challenge our religious and cultural preconceptions. Starting with his first hit video, “5 Easy Steps: How to Become a Sheikh,” Veedu has gained a following of tens of thousands of people, finding an audience with young, old, ex-Muslims, and Muslims alike. We talk about the importance of humor, art, and comedy in the dialogue on Islam and Muslims, Veedu’s own deconversion from Islam, and why he says he would not be here if it weren’t for—wait for it—Zakir Naik. Don’t miss this!
