The attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon on September 11, 2001 changed the lives of many Americans. None more so than Muslim-Americans, who were subjected to a wave of hostility not seen since Japanese-Americans were targeted following the bombing of Pearl Harbor. Have things improved seven years later?
Join us this week in a conversation about what its like to be a Muslim seven years after 9.11.We'll be talking with Dr. Kambiz Ghaneabassiri, Carnegie Scholar and Associate Professor of Religion and Humanities at Reed College, about the history and composition of the Muslim-American community. We'll also be talking with Ahmed Rehab, communications director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations, about the challenges facing Muslim-Americans seven years after the World Trade Center attack.
