Valparaiso University Prof Joins In Discussion Of Islamophobia

In the past week -- the chaotic implementation of a travel ban barring people from 7 majority-Muslim nations from entering the U.S. and a deadly attack on Muslims at prayer in Canada.  There have been demonstrations of support in Canada - complete with placards and signs --  but shadows remain in that country and in Victoria, Texas, a mosque was burned to the ground.

A Valparaiso University associate law professor, Faisal Kutty, joined CBC "The Sunday Edition" host Michael Enright last weekend for a conversation about  the state of Islamophobia in North America … how it got here, what it's like today... and about how to make sense of the events of the past week.  Here is a link to The Sunday Edition web page.

Our thanks to the CBC for this Web feature.

Chris Nolte produces and hosts “Regionally Speaking” aired weekdays from noon to 1:00 p.m. He's also the temporary local "Morning Edition" host.
