Episode notes

After 9-11, the religion of Islam was associated with evil in the world. How does it make you feel as a devout Muslim yourself and how can you overcome it? It's interesting because 9-11 now, we're talking over 21 years ago. A lot of us that experience 9-11 as high schoolers or as college students remember distinctly what it was like to be a Muslim pre 9-11 and post 9-11.
