Baha’i Blogcast with Rainn Wilson – Episode 47: Mohammed AL Samawi

May 5, 2020, in Audio > Podcasts, by

Hello and welcome to the Baha’i Blogcast with me your host, Rainn Wilson.

In this series of podcasts I interview members of the Baha’i Faith and friends from all over the world about their hearts, and minds, and souls, their spiritual journeys, what they’re interested in, and what makes them tick.

In this episode, I’m with Mohammad AL Samawi, an interfaith activist from Yemen and a best-selling author of ‘The Fox Hunt’, a page-turning book about his life and escape from Yemen. Mohammed tells me about his life in Yemen and the civil war there. He tells me how his disability helped change the course of his life and how he became an interfaith activist. We learn about the importance of seeking knowledge and the truth for one’s self, and the positive power social media can play in the world. He tells us about his harrowing escape from Yemen to the U.S., and celebrates the fact that there are so many good people in the world. I hope you enjoy this exciting conversation with Mohammed as much as I did!
