A rabbi and an imam reflect on antisemitism and Islamophobia

About this episode

Rabbi Andy Green and Imam Omar Suleiman discuss the rise of antisemitism and Islamophobia in the context of recent global events.

The rise of violence against Jews around the world has made armed security guards a common sight at synagogues. Rabbi Andy Green of Congregation Or Tzion in Scottsdale, Ariz., reflects. And, a recent analysis has found a sharp spike in anti-Muslim content online after the United States and Israel started a war with Iran. Bigotry and misinformation about Muslims has been promoted by senior Trump administration officials and members of Congress. Imam Omar Suleiman, Islamic scholar and president of Yaqeen Institute for Islamic Research in Texas, talks about fighting back against Islamophobia.
