Episode notes

The fbi recruited more than 15 thousand informants in the post 9/11 era. Many, if not most, of those informants were assigned to moslem communities. The supreme court is expected to make a decision on this case by early next year.

A bodybuilder posing as a Muslim convert was welcomed into a California mosque. When he showed signs of extremism, members reported him to the FBI, only to learn that he was their informant. Now, their story is before the Supreme Court.

Today’s show was produced by Haleema Shah, edited by Matt Collette, engineered by Cristian Ayala and Paul Mounsey, fact-checked by Laura Bullard and Will Reid and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
