4/24 Wajahat Ali: Islam and Resistance in the Age of Trump

April 25, 2017

Wajahat Ali (@WajahatAli) joins us today to discuss the ambiguity and paradoxes surrounding muslims in the “resistance” to Donald Trump. The surreal existence of Muslim Americans in 2017 as the most diverse religious group in America. How New Atheists resemble right wing fundamentalists.

On the fun half: Confederate monuments going down in New Orleans,  Jeff Sessions wants to blame Democrats for their government shutdown, Alex Jones says he slept with 150 women by the time he was 16, Gorka gorked at Georgetown, and a moment of appreciation of Cam’ron’s politics.
