This conversation between John Pinna and Dr. Daisy Khan explores the rise of Islamophobia in the United States, particularly in the wake of the October 9th attack. Khan explains how Islamophobia has manifested at both the individual and institutional levels, with Muslims facing discrimination, harassment, and even job loss for expressing their faith. She emphasizes the importance of building relationships between Muslims and non-Muslims through initiatives like sharing meals and attending community events. Khan also discusses her advocacy work, including efforts to provide Islamophobia training for corporations and input on the White House's strategy to combat anti-Muslim bigotry. Dr. Daisy Khan is an award winning speaker, author and Founder and Executive Director of the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality (WISE), a women-led organization committed to peacebuilding, equality, and justice for Muslims around the globe.

In 2009, plans were announced to convert a building in Lower Manhattan into a center for the Muslim community called Cordoba House. Among the leaders of the project were Daisy Khan and her husband Feisal Abdul Rauf, a sufi imam. Khan, a native of Jumma and Kashmir, was the leader of two non-profit organizations, Musilim Leaders of Tomorrow and the Women's Islamic Initiative in Spirituality and Equality. In planning the center, Khan reached out to Rabbi Joy Levitt, then the Executive Director of the JCC in Manhattan, for advice both large and small. What resulted was a friendship that sheltered both through the cultural storm that erupted around the community center, which became known for a brief time as the Ground Zero mosque, due to its overstated proximity to the 9/11 site. In today's episode, we'll hear Joy and Daisy recall that turbulent time, and how one project designed to benefit an entire population blew up as a result of the country's increasing polarization.

PART 2: DAISY KHAN - ONE OF THE MOST PROMINENT AMERICAN MUSLIM WOMEN. My guest this week is Daisy Khan. Khan is the author of two books,WISE Up:Knowledge Ends Extremism (2017), which is published in collaboration with 72 contributors and Born with Wings (2018) her memoir, published by Spiegel and Grau, Random House. Daisy Khan grew up in a progressive Muslim household in Kashmir, in the shadow of the Himalayan mountains. After attending Catholic school, she was sent for high school to live with relatives in a mostly Jewish Long Island suburb. Ambitious and talented, after college she quickly climbed the corporate ladder as an architectural designer in New York City, where among other jobs she worked on the 106th floor of the World Trade Towers for Shearson Lehman Brothers. Yet though she loved the freedom that came with being a career woman, she felt that something was missing from her life. This yearning precipitated a spiritual search resulting in her marrying an imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, and finding herself at the center of a community in which, as the imam's wife, women turned to her for advice. She embraced her role as a women's advocate: she has created innovative ways to work with imams to end child marriage, eradicate female genital mutilation, and most recently educate young Muslims to resist the seductive promises of ISIS recruiters. Khan created the first women's Shura (advisory) Council and started WISE, one of the largest global movements of women that works to reclaim women's rights. Khan emerged as a leader in the public eye after finding herself at the center of a national debate surrounding the Ground Zero controversy. Thank you.

My guest this week is Daisy Khan. Khan is the author of two books, WISE Up: Knowledge Ends Extremism (2017), which is published in collaboration with 72 contributors and Born with Wings (2018) her memoir, published by Spiegel and Grau, Random House.  Daisy Khan grew up in a progressive Muslim household in Kashmir, in the shadow of the Himalayan mountains. After attending Catholic school, she was sent for high school to live with relatives in a mostly Jewish Long Island suburb. Ambitious and talented, after college she quickly climbed the corporate ladder as an architectural designer in New York City, where among other jobs she worked on the 106th floor of the World Trade Towers for Shearson Lehman Brothers. Yet though she loved the freedom that came with being a career woman, she felt that something was missing from her life. This yearning precipitated a spiritual search resulting in her marrying an imam, Feisal Abdul Rauf, and finding herself at the center of a community in which, as the imam's wife, women turned to her for advice. She embraced her role as a women's advocate: she has created innovative ways to work with imams to end child marriage, eradicate female genital mutilation, and most recently educate young Muslims to resist the seductive promises of ISIS recruiters.

"What planted the seed for this book was literally when I was a little girl, and my father gave me a pair of boxing gloves, and he taught me how to defend myself. I was the third of three daughters and this is the world I came into. And you’ll hear all about my boxing-glove story in the audiobook."
