    Returning for his third appearance on this podcast, I welcome back journalist, author, and historian Tharik Hussain. Tharik is back to discuss his revelatory new book, Muslim Europe: A Journey in Search of a Fourteen Hundred Year History, which argues that Islam is not foreign, but an integral, yet forgotten, part of Europe's foundation.

    We break down the key demographic shifts, the internal Muslim divides, and the crucial question of identity shaping Europe today.

    What makes a destination off-limits? Is it a visa issue, or is it a hidden history? In this powerful podcast, I go into a profoundly personal travel story that goes beyond simple geopolitics.

You will discover the untold story of the Bangladesh-Pakistan conflict and how it continues to impact personal identity and travel decisions today.

    Where is Macao? I had the pleasure of travelling around this region, a SAR of China, exploring the city's unique blend of cultures, showcasing both its Las Vegas-like Cotai Strip and its historic Portuguese and Chinese influences.

    You'll see some of the city's most famous sights, including the replica of the Eiffel Tower and Big Ben, and learn about the city's economy, which is driven by its booming casino industry. You'll also understand transportation, and I'll highlight some must-try local food, such as Portuguese egg tarts and African Chicken.
