=============================

In this episode, I spoke with award-winning author and journalist, Tharik Hussain. We discussed how Tharik journeyed to discover Muslim Europe, why he decided to write his book, Minarets in the Mountains, and what significance the book would have for the Muslim community and society.

We both discussed our Bangladeshi roots and went into detail about what it was like to grow up in the U.K. and travel to Bangladesh for the first time. What impact did it have on Tharik?

We discuss what the World Cup in Qatar in 2022 has done for the Arab Muslim world regarding tourism. Did it get fair coverage? Was the criticism justified?

We discuss Ramadan's importance, what it's like to travel during the holy month and the significance for a travel professional to fast during the month and work.

Tharik also discussed what's on the agenda next for him.
