To Be More Peaceful, One must Disconnect with Un-Peaceful

Personal story of dropping off a famous scholar because he was incompatible with the mission of our podcast.

Everyone was telling me I must interview 'This Person,' that I do not name him for the sake of anonymity. They said, and I heard, that he is an expert on Iran; he has written more than eight books about Iran and the U.S. relations, he gives lectures about Iran and Islam around the world, he is a renowned Iranian scholar, and teaches in a famous university in New York city. Our editors thought that his fame may help us with traffic and download.

He had a new book focused on Islam and the West. I sought out the opportunity to see if I can feature him on Peacemindedy.
