I was sold this as a way of understanding Israel and Hamas. Rather than questioning both sides it was more like a Palestinian=terrorist and Israel=victim. There was no recognition of the real people, good and bad on both sides. Very Biased.

Was hopeful that this would be right up my street, but because I'm not a member of any of the 'god is real' cults i found this insufferable and couldn't listen past the first episode. Thomas and his "As a Christian i...' were more than i could tolerate so unsubscribing is my next step.

Extremely interresting and insightful. Especially Aimen's background as Al Qaida jihadist and MI5/6 agent gives the whole show a very depth with some different p.o.v.
