Ambassador Islam Siddiqui on NPR  

Then we look into the impact that Trump�s hate speech is having on American Muslims and speak with Ambassador Islam Siddiqui, the highest ranking American Muslim in the Clinton and Obama Administrations who is the President and cofounder of the American Muslim Institution. We discuss the latest Public Policy Polling survey that finds Trump is far and away the frontrunner in North Carolina where 67% of his backers want a national database on Muslims, 62% believe Trump�s lies about Muslims celebrating 9/11 and 51% want to shut down mosques while 44% want Islam outlawed. �

Dealing with Terrorism, the Islamic way

Dr. Mike Ghouse, community consultant, social scientist, thinker, writer, news maker, and a speaker on Pluralism, Interfaith, Islam, politics, human rights, India, Israel-Palestine and foreign policy. He is deeply committed to building cohesive societies and offers pluralistic solutions on issues of the day; he will discuss how the Bush and Obama methods of handling terrorism have not worked, where the first method created more terrorism and the second one has not mitigated it. Also, as a moderate Muslim, Mike will discuss the Islamic way of handling terrorism, to wit: �Mr. Baghdadi, you have three days to stop killing innocent people and destroying Allah�s creation, life and environment. If you do not heed the warning, we will hunt you down and ambush wherever you hide. If not, we will gas you, a few square miles at a time, not to hurt you, but to capture and put you on trial and ask you to give up the false claims you are making about your religion. Soldiers from around the world will be on the front line against you.� He argues that blaming the religion is the dumbest thing to do, because we cannot beat, kick, hack, shoot, hang, kill or bury a religion, it�s an intangible thing! Mike concludes that we can blame the individuals and restore trust and harmony back for the society to function peacefully and cohesively.
