Encore Presentation: The Perceptions of Muslims in America

SHAFAQNA –

On the presidential campaign trail, one candidate said a Muslim should never hold that office and another offered no challenge when a supporter declared Muslims “a problem in this country.” In Texas, a Muslim student was handcuffed when his homemade clock was misinterpreted as a bomb. And recently a man shouted “terrorists!” at members of a Parma mosque. On the Sound of Ideas, reaction and discussion with Northeast Ohio Muslims.
