In this episode of Radio Islam, Tariq (El-Amin) and Ibrahim (Baig) discuss the State of Emergency imposed in Sri Lanka in the wake of widespread violence against the country's Muslim minority.They examine a New York Times article "Why Are We Surprised When Buddhists Are Violent?" as they look at the impact of stereotype and bias on how people process news.
In the second half Tariq and Ibrahim look at Chicago's Muslim community which more often that not mirrors a segregated Chicago landscape. How can our masjid/mosque communities reflect the diversity of our population? What are some of the obstacles to overcoming separation?
