Synopsis
Our guest is Robert L. McKenzie, Senior Fellow with New America, and Director of its Muslim Diaspora Initiative. While horrific events like the recent hate-fueled mass killing of Muslims in Christ Church New Zealand serve as worst case scenarios of anti-Muslim sentiment, there have been over 750 documented anti-Muslim acts in the U.S. since 2012. How do we respond to the potential impact of hate speech directed at Muslims? What responsibility do Social Media execs have in preventing their platforms to be used to radicalize individuals? How does misinformation about Islam and Muslims translate into violence? These are just some of the questions discussed in this episode of Radio Islam. *The Muslim Diaspora initiative is an online interactive timeline and map documenting anti-Muslim activities at the state and local level in the United States.
