Tune in to this discussion about How Real Is Race?: Unraveling Race, Biology, and Culture by Carol C. Mukhopadhyay, Rosemary Henze, and Yolanda T. Moses (Rowman & Littlefield, 2025)Biologically speaking, there is no such thing as race. Yet this seems to contradict the experiences of people in the United States and other countries where racial classification is used daily, by individuals and institutions. Race still matters, whether in wealth accumulation, educational achievement, health, the legal system, or in personal safety. How can race not be real when we experience its effects every day?Mukhopadhyay, Henze, and Moses systematically deconstruct the myth of race as biology and address the reality of race as a cultural invention, drawing on biocultural, historical, and cross-cultural anthropological perspectives. In doing so, they shed light on the intricate interplay among race, biology, culture, power, and stratification. Part I, “The Fallacy of Race as Biology,” unravels the myth that races are biologically valid divisions of humanity. Part II, “Culture Creates Race,” explores race as a social construction; the emergence of the racial worldview as ideological justification for inequality; and how social processes, especially restrictions on interracial sex and marriage, maintained visible markers of racial hierarchy. Part III, “Contemporary Issues,” examines current manifestations of racial stratification including the educational achievement gap, health disparities, and how the language of race embodies and reinforces a racial worldview.Dr. Mukhopadhyay is a cultural anthropologist whose specialties are gender, family, sexuality, race, cultural diversity, multicultural education, cognitive anthropology, ethnographic decision-modeling, theory and methodology. Her research has focused on gendered activities, in households, politics, music, and science & engineering (STEM). This has involved fieldwork in both the United States and India.Dr. Rosemary Henze is an educational anthropologist whose teaching, research, and educational projects seek to enhance social justice and equity in education. She applies concepts and methods from anthropology and linguistics to the study of race relations, immigration and multilingualism, Islamophobia, and the spread of English, among other topics. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature.

Lee Harris returns to look over a tense week in politics and media. We discuss the reported deletion of submissions to Angela Rayner's working group on an Islamophobia / “anti-Muslim hostility” definition, questions over data protection excuses, and concerns that the proposed definition could be used to restrict speech. We also cover the announced National Centre for Information Defence — branded by many as a “Ministry of Truth” — and whether it is a response to the government losing control of the narrative. The conversation then turns to sentencing and policing: contrasting cases that critics call two-tier justice, the arrest and charging of Danny Tommo after he slashed an abandoned dinghy in the Channel, and Tommy Robinson's detention under counter-terrorism powers. We close with small-boat arrival numbers, police escorts for migrant transport, and the Chagos Islands sovereignty deal. Connect with Lee...

Send us Fan MailA single sentence can expose how broken our moral language has become: a Jewish baby and a Palestinian baby have the exact same human value. If that feels controversial, we need to ask why and what tribal loyalty has done to our ethics.We work through a tense public debate about Israel, Gaza, October 7, and the word “genocide,” using the lens of “Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics.” We separate the legal question from the moral one: even when courts and institutions argue over terminology, what do we owe civilians, dead children, hostages, and families living under siege? We also confront a pattern many of us recognize in ourselves: “context” gets labeled as excuse when it humanizes the wrong people, but gets demanded as a prerequisite for condemnation when it protects the right people.Then we dig into the phrases that shut down accountability. “Human shields” is real in international humanitarian law, but it does not erase civilian status, and it does not cancel the attacker's obligations of proportionality and precautions. We also bring the focus home to U.S. foreign policy, military aid, and the uncomfortable fact that American resources and diplomatic cover are part of the story and therefore part of our democratic responsibility.If you care about human rights, international law, antisemitism, Islamophobia, and moral consistency in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, this conversation is for you.

How does power actually work in Washington....and who really runs things?Isra Chaker has spent her career building campaigns around human rights, refugees, public policy, and social change. In this episode, she explains how influence actually works behind the scenes in DC. Hav eyou heard of the mechanics of power in Washington DC like: "stakeholder mapping, campaign strategy, and coalition building" , then you don't know how to navigate American politics yet. Isra also shares the story behind one of the most unusual campaigns of her career: renting Donald Trump's childhood home , turning the house into a global campaign.We also discuss her experience working inside major human-rights organizations, including the conversations and advocacy surrounding Amnesty International's position on Gaza, and what happens behind the scenes before an organization makes a major public determination.Beyond politics and advocacy, Isra opens up about facing Islamophobia growing up, how those experiences shaped her path, and why she describes herself as a social architect, someone focused on building long-term influence, institutions, and relationships.We also talk about her work with Every Mother, a coalition working to raise millions of dollars to support mothers and babies around the world, and how her own difficult pregnancy made that mission deeply personal.JOIN OUR WEBSITE MEMBERSHIP! @ https://ansaripodcast.comThank You for Your Support!*The Debt Clinic*: https://www.Thedebtclinic.com/ansari*Provision Capital:* https://www.provisioncapital.com00:00 Intro00:42 She was behind Amnesty International & Gaza?!05:22 How to play the game of power in Washington DC10:05 Our Partners11:41 How to make friends & influence people 10116:58 She Rented Trump's Childhood Home26:34 How to get people to pay attention to your cause34:45 Muslim Americans don't understand power39:11 Isra's incredible of Trump's presidency42:19 Story from Bullied Muslim Girl to Change Maker56:36 Saving Mothers & Babies Around the World01:07:21 Final Thoughts01:08:21 Outro*Listen on All Audio Platforms:* https://tr.ee/JeX-ILYSyj*Follow The Ansari Podcast**Instagram:* https://instagram.com/ansaripodcast*TikTok:* https://tiktok.com/@theansaripodcast*Twitter/X:* https://twitter.com/ansaripodcastNasheed in Ad: Halal Sounds - SHAJARAYouTube: / @halalsounds24#trump #power #washingtondc #muslimamerican #gaza #howtomakefriends #howtoinfluencepeople

Thank you Jason Gael, Libra, Education is a lamp, Sherell, LBW, and many others for tuning into my live video! * The UnitedHealth Story: Private Insurance, Public Money and Single Payer: Public research helps create medicines while private firms develop, market and price them. UnitedHealth's growth adds urgency to the healthcare-financing debate. [More]* Nobel-Winning Economists Say California Billionaire Tax Could Be ‘Turning Point in the Battle Between Democracy and Oligarchy': “What will allow California to thrive in the future,” the economists said, “is not letting a handful of billionaires live tax-free: it is adequate public spending on health, education, and public infrastructure, key engines of economic growth.” [More]* Is AI the Final Populist Tipping Point?: Will Democrats seize the moment and embrace the new AI-fueled economic populism? Or will they keep succumbing to the siren song of big money? [More]The chats reflected an engaged audience deeply concerned about corporate power, healthcare profiteering, artificial intelligence, economic insecurity, and attacks on democracy. The overall sentiment was progressive, energetic, and supportive, although frustration, fear, and one persistent dissenting voice produced several contentious exchanges.Substack chatThe Substack conversation was highly active, personal, and community-oriented. Participants greeted one another warmly, shared humor, promoted an upcoming “Coffee with Egberto” gathering, and repeatedly praised the program.Healthcare generated the strongest emotional response. Viewers described unaffordable premiums, rising Medicare copayments, medical debt, closed clinics, data breaches, denied coverage, and frightening experiences involving UnitedHealthcare. Several participants argued that private insurers, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, and other corporate intermediaries extract money while patients and medical workers suffer. The phrase “profit-first” resonated strongly because it accurately framed an industry that secures its profits before paying patients' medical bills.AI also provoked substantial discussion. Participants acknowledged its usefulness for technical work but distrusted its growing role in healthcare, therapy, insurance decisions, search results, and personal-data collection. Several viewers stressed that people must question AI-generated information and retain critical judgment.One participant repeatedly defended aspects of the existing insurance system, attacked the program as one-sided, and predicted that single-payer healthcare would produce worse outcomes. Other viewers challenged those assertions, identified the account as a recurring troll, and continued supporting Medicare for All. Despite that friction, the dominant position remained unmistakable: healthcare should serve patients, not corporate shareholders.Later discussion moved toward food prices, restaurant closures, boycotts, public health, tobacco and alcohol taxation, Islamophobia surrounding halal labeling, and the economic pressure forcing people to abandon even inexpensive personal treats.Substack sentiment: Predominantly supportive and progressive, with strong solidarity and community warmth. The emotional tone mixed anger at healthcare profiteering, anxiety about AI and affordability, and determination to pursue systemic reform. The dissent was loud but isolated.Facebook chatThe Facebook conversation was more argumentative and policy-focused. Participants debated Harris County spending, taxation, regulation, government employment, local budget pressures, competition, and capitalism. One commenter criticized county growth and defended markets, while others argued that regulation protects workers, consumers, communities, and the environment from corporate abuse.The AI discussion generally treated the technology as a tool whose risks come from the corporations and powerful interests controlling it. Several participants rejected apocalyptic corporate messaging as a public-relations strategy designed to win contracts and political influence.Viewers also raised grave concerns about ICE violence, immigrant families afraid to attend school, Trump's corruption, the Iran war, billionaire attacks on democracy, and the possibility of authoritarian interference in future elections. The Texas Senate race and James Talarico's outside financial support triggered disagreement about billionaire money, campaign funding, and political credibility.The chat closed with attention to Indigenous media and the Red Nation Podcast, showing interest in movement-based journalism outside corporate media.Facebook sentiment: Progressive but more divided and combative than Substack. Anger, apprehension, and distrust dominated, especially around ICE, authoritarianism, billionaire influence, government spending, and economic decline. Still, participants showed considerable political engagement rather than resignation.Combined assessmentAcross both platforms, the audience overwhelmingly agreed that concentrated corporate wealth threatens healthcare, economic security, and democracy. Viewers strongly supported patient-centered healthcare, meaningful regulation, immigrant rights, and resistance to authoritarian power. They expressed skepticism toward insurance companies, billionaires, unaccountable AI systems, and institutions that place profit before human needs.The overall sentiment was supportive, progressive, concerned, and mobilized. Substack supplied the stronger sense of fellowship; Facebook produced the sharper ideological debate. Beneath the anger and anxiety, both chats revealed an audience eager to analyze events critically, challenge corporate narratives, and remain politically involved.This post has bonus content for paid subscribers.

Ed Morrissey, Managing Editor at Hot Air, and host of the Ed Morrissey Podcast, joins Seth to remember Constitution Day and the Democratic socialists who are choosing not to celebrate. Ed and Seth explore the concept of Islamophobia and how it's been used to silence dissent and criticism of Islam. They discuss the idea that Islamism is a dangerous creed that should be opposed and stopped, and how the notion of Islamophobia has been used to stifle debate and discussion. They also touch on the recent successful primary elections of Democratic Islamist candidates in the U.S. and the implications of this trend as we approach the 2026 midterm elections. We're joined by Johnny Estes, Vice President of Operations of CMI Gold & Silver.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brian T. Kennedy, president of the American Strategy Group, chairman of the Committee on the Present Danger: China, and a board member and senior fellow of the Claremont Institute, talks about his recent piece at Claremont’s American Mind, “The Heavy Yoke of 9/11.” Brian discusses the idea that the U.S. has never truly taken on the ideology of Islam, instead making excuses and downplaying its significance. Kennedy argues that this approach has led to the importation of millions of Muslims into the country, many of whom hold radical views, and the rise of Islamist politicians. The discussion also touches on the concept of "Islamophobia" and how it was used to silence critics of Islam, as well as the American people's discomfort with discussing religion. Kennedy suggests that the country's reluctance to scrutinize Islam has led to a lack of understanding and a failure to address the ideology's incompatibility with free society.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Join Dominic Carter as he discusses Mamdani's new public toilets, Islamophobia, the condition of his cat, and more on WABC.

Antisemitism, hatred of Jews, is centuries old. It exists today. It's a blight on humankind and must be resisted. However, criticism of Israeli state policies should not be conflated with antisemitism. One should also point out that Islamophobia, hatred of Muslims, is on the rise. Fascism is a political term. It should not be used promiscuously. In the 20th century, it starts with Mussolini, followed by Hitler, Franco, and many others. Today, one sees elements of fascism in the United States and elsewhere. There is exaltation of and obedience to the great leader. There is a celebration of militarism and a mythic past. Italian philosopher and author Umberto Eco says fascist traits include “rejection of modernism,” “irrationalism,” “obsession of a plot,” “contempt for the weak,” and “selective populism.”

In the post-9/11 era, American Muslims became the target of government suspicion and surveillance. But while reporting her new book, New York Times Magazine journalist Rozina Ali found that Islamophobia has been present in the United States since at least the 1960s. In today's episode, Ali joins Morning Edition's Leila Fadel for a conversation about the four family stories – spanning eight decades – that she profiles in Seasons of Fury. They also discuss the way Islamophobia plays out in American politics today.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

NOTE: The Mitch McConnell segment was recorded before he announced his return to the Senate.The Iran War continues and is becoming a full-blown regional war as the Houthis in Yemen just took over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and explosions disrupt the Saudi East-West pipeline that carries ~5% of the world's oil. Get ready for price hikes!! At the RNC Midterm convention, Trump said the quiet part out loud when he acknowledged that if Iran had a nuke, we wouldn't be bombing them anymore. The boys also touch on some extras such as Mitch McConnell still being absent, the wave of Islamophobia, and Jasmine Crockett honoring Chris Brown with a spot in the Congressional record. Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) You are NOT seeing that $5K(2:30) Intro(5:25) Iran War escalates, Houthis get involved(32:20) Jasmine Crockett & Chris Brown(40:10) What's up with Mitch McConnell????(45:45) Elon Musk to spend $100M on the midterms(52:40) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Iran war updates - https://www.npr.org/2026/09/12/g-s1-143044/yemens-houthis-capture-red-sea-island https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62m933465eo https://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-arabia-mbs-trump-houthis-yemen/

In this episode of the Race and Rights Podcast, CSRR affiliate and Penn GSE faculty member, Ameena Ghaffar-Kucher, guest hosts an episode reflecting on the twenty-fifth anniversary of 9/11, a milestone that coincides with the two-hundred-and-fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the United States. She is joined by Alka Pradhan, Human Rights Counsel for Ammar al-Baluchi in the Guantánamo Bay Military Commissions and adjunct faculty at Penn Carey Law, and Zainab Saleh, Associate Professor of Anthropology at Haverford College. Their discussion traces the legal and military machinery of the so-called Global War on Terrorism and how it continues to shape policy and daily life in the United States and abroad.The conversation situates the response to 9/11 within longer histories of policies and interventions rather than treating it as an aberration. Alka Pradhan examines this through the mechanics of law and the absence of accountability, interrogating the "terrorist" label and its effects, while Zainab Saleh grounds it in the human and material devastation of Iraq, and discusses the role of the media in the disappearance of both Iraq and Afghanistan from public memory. The guests consider how the Global War on Terror has come home: related logics of racialized suspicion that have justified detention and surveillance abroad also shape domestic policing and immigration enforcement. These practices are now drawing wider attention as they increasingly reach people's friends and neighbors, despite long-standing warnings from civil rights groups.The conversation also weighs the benefits and costs of the term Islamophobia itself against alternatives such as racism and anti-Muslim racism. It extends into the newer term anti-Palestinian racism, and into the "Palestinian exception" to free speech, where the same post-9/11 playbook of surveillance and suppression now targets people speaking out on Palestine.Together, the conversation asks what it means to reckon with how the response to 9/11 continues to shape law, policy, and daily life twenty-five years later.#WarOnTerror #September11 #Islamophobia #Guantanamo #CostsOfWar #AntiPalestinianRacism #CivilRights #HumanRightsFurther ReadingMaduro's Trial Follows the Twisted Logic of the War on Terrorism | Alka Pradhan.

Today's headlines raise some big questions. What happens when uncomfortable facts become off-limits, men increasingly struggle to find work, and Christianity's exclusive claims collide with “all roads lead to God”? Segment 1 • How can AI be genuinely useful without becoming something you rely on too heavily? • If God ordains everything, does that make Him responsible for evil? • How do ultimate, proximate, and efficient causes help explain God's sovereignty over a world where evil exists? Segment 2 • A church plays Dolly Parton's “9 to 5” on a pipe organ. What belongs in a worship service? • Do archaeological discoveries and holy sites strengthen our faith, or has God already given us something more certain? • Why has LGBT identification risen so dramatically in America, and how much does cultural affirmation play a role? Segment 3 • Nearly all recent U.S. job growth reportedly went to women. What happens to a society when men increasingly struggle to find work? • A Virginia school district tells teachers not to associate 9/11 with Islam. Can you teach what happened without addressing the attackers' religious motivation? • When does legitimate criticism of a religion get wrongly dismissed as “Islamophobia”? Segment 4 • Jane Fonda challenged the Archbishop of Canterbury with a question that sounds like it could have been asked today: aren't there many valid ways to God? • Why wasn't “Jesus is the only way” the Archbishop's immediate response? • Fifty years later, what can this exchange teach Christians about responding clearly to religious pluralism?

Three days before the 25th anniversary of September 11th, New York City released 170,000 pages of its own 9/11 records, and Mayor Zohran Mamdani made September 11th an official citywide day of remembrance and service. The first Muslim mayor of New York is doing more 9/11 accountability work than any mayor before him. Does that protect Muslims, or put them on trial again? In the final episode of Immigrantly's 9/11 at 25 series, host Saadia Khan sits down with Salam Al-Marayati, co-founder and president of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). He was walking to the White House for a meeting with President George W. Bush on the morning of September 11, 2001, and has spent 38 years being called the reasonable Muslim by the government and the government's Muslim by his own community. Saadia asks the questions Muslim leaders rarely get asked on the record. Why did MPAC take part in Countering Violent Extremism programs, and does he regret Safe Spaces? Why does the US government list only Muslim groups as terrorists? Does the good Muslim narrative buy the community anything? Do Muslims have to show up every September? Al-Marayati argues that war, not Islam, is the real national security problem, and that human security has to replace the trillion-dollar version. This conversation covers the Patriot Act, post-9/11 surveillance, CVE, blowback, Islamophobia in 2026, and the Mamdani 9/11 records release.

Is this a new era for American Muslims?American Muslims are building their own cultural institutions – New York Magazine and The Guardian have reported on flourishing ecosystems of cafes, magazines, dance nights, meetups and readings for Muslims and/or people with heritage from the SWANA region. And on a political level, Muslims like Minnesota Representative Ilhan Omar and New York Mayor Zohran Mamdani have become prominent faces of the left. On the one hand, this swell of Muslims coming up in politics and building cultural institutions is not surprising – there are over 4 million Muslims in America. On the other hand, this shift is pretty significant given how deeply Islamophobia and racism are rooted in our culture. So what's changed for American Muslims in recent years, and what's stayed the same? What does it mean that Muslims are accruing a little more political and cultural capital now, and that non-Muslims are noticing?To get deeper into it, Brittany is joined by Dr. Donna Auston, cultural anthropologist, and Dr. Tazeen Ali, scholar of Islam in America and associate professor of religion and politics at Washington University in St. Louis.(00:00) Is this a new era for American Muslims?(02:19) From family joints to Instagrammable coffee shops(11:11) The Muslim faces of the progressive movement(14:51) Systemic Islamophobia in America(20:35) How race shapes Muslim communities(27:04) Shifting views on Gaza amidst persistent IslamophobiaSupport public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.

To listen to the entire episode subscribe on Patreon or watch the episode on the EIAP YouTube channel***   Friday is the 25th Anniversary of 9/11/2001 and all that followed from the attacks on the World Trade Center and Pentagon: the launching of the "Global War on Terrorism", the wars and occupations in Afghanistan and Iraq, the drone campaigns across Africa and Asia, the securitization and surveillance regimes threatening political rights, the globalizing of paradigms of Islamophobia. What do imperial/imperialist commemorations "forget" as if history began on 9/11/2001 or 10/7/2023? Some talk about the GWOT as history, but has it ended?

It’s Monday in America; time for The World’s Greatest Political Podcast: THE LEFT SHOW™! This week, J.M. Bell welcomes JC to opine on Trump’s cash gifts to diaper changers, a 5k vote bribe, Trump’s 9/11 lies, Mamdani’s 170k  9/11 pages, and walking 500 miles to be a transphobe. #748 The World’s Greatest Political Podcast™ – […] The post 748 The LEFT Show | The Midterms, Trump, Islamophobia, El-Sayed and Mamdani appeared first on The LEFT Show.

As surveillance takes hold in our country in the form of flock cameras, Rev. Dr. Daniel Kanter asks, "Will we be people who simply talk about freedom or will we practice it?" In his sermon to kick off our "Liberating Faith" theme year, Rev. Kanter reflects on the work of John Stuart Mill and Harriet Taylor Mill. For our Unitarian ancestors, the defense of liberty was survival, not just abstract philosophy. In a year when our right to vote freely is in jeopardy, our rights of free speech are being questioned, and our neighbors' rights to religious expression are under attack, it is our turn to live a liberating faith. This year, let's continue the great Unitarian experiment of trusting ourselves and others to seek, question, grow, and become. Topics: On Liberty, John Stuart Mill, Harriet Taylor Mills , Unitarians, flock cameras, immigration, South Place Unitarian Chapel, Reverend William Johnson Fox, reproductive dignity, fighting Islamophobia, religious freedom, freedom of speech Liberating Faith Liberation begins with the belief that another world is possible. It takes root whenever people find the strength to resist injustice, as well as the willingness to continue learning. Our Unitarian Universalist faith calls us to live in ways that make freedom more real for everyone, everywhere. Our 2026–2027 theme year, Liberating Faith, opens the door to that sacred work. Throughout this year, we will develop the spiritual tools needed to break free from fear and assumption so that we can live more authentically, seek reconciliation where there is division, and help create communities where every person can flourish. We start on the path toward liberation by taking stock of what is true about who we are individually, but we do not stop there. As we grow into being more honest and courageous individuals, we will become better neighbors, better friends and better co-builders of beloved community.

Andrew Walworth, Carl Cannon and RCP contributor Brigadier General John Teichert, USAF (Ret) discuss Sunday's “60 Minutes” report on the rescue of the crew of an US F-15 from Iran last April, and recent events in the Ukraine War, including a Russian drone attack on a train near the Polish border this weekend. The guys also discuss possible Congressional action to regulate artificial intelligence and reaction to President Donald Trump's promise of a $5,000 check to every adult American if the GOP wins both the House and Senate in November. Andrew and Carl also discuss President Trump's recent remarks favoring Irish unification and press coverage of the 25th anniversary of 9/11 which emphasizes “Islamophobia.” Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260911.mp3 Right-click here to download this episode (“Save link as…”). HarperCollins (2006) This week on CounterSpin: Some 3,000 people died when planes hit the Twin Towers on September 11, 2001. One hundred twenty-five people died at the Pentagon in Virginia, and at least 265 people were killed—passengers and crew—on the planes used to carry out the attacks. It was a day of horror and grief. But then it became an excuse for more horror and more grief, inflicted “in the names of” people who were no longer here to say whether that was what they would want. Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is currently striving for relevance by declaring that current Mayor Zohran Mamdani should not attend commemorative ceremonies. We hear about what Giuliani did when he was mayor with a 2007 interview with Wayne Barrett, then senior editor at the Village Voice and co-author, with Dan Collins, of Grand Illusion: The Untold Story of Rudy Giuliani and 9/11. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260911Barrett.mp3 Broadleaf Books (2023) Also on the show: Giuliani isn't alone in saying that New York city's mayor should stay away from anything to do with September 11, 2001, because, because, well because, you know! The same reason no Germans are allowed in the Holocaust Museum. And no white Americans are allowed in the South. Hatred, fear, accusations against Muslims have been around forever, but some people—and some media—leapt on that day's crime to use as cover for a bigotry they always harbored, now free to weaponize wherever they chose. CounterSpin talked about Islamophobia many times with writer and organizer Maha Hilal, author of Innocent Until Proven Muslim: Islamophobia, the War on Terror and the Muslim Experience Since 9/11. We hear just one of those conversations this week. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260911Hilal.mp3 Plus Janine Jackson takes a quick look at recent press coverage of Donald Trump’s sanity. https://media.blubrry.com/counterspin/content.blubrry.com/counterspin/CounterSpin260911Banter.mp3

This week on the Stay Tuned with Preet podcast, former Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco and former Homeland Security Advisor Ken Wainstein join Preet to reflect on the 25th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. The pair also previously co-hosted the CAFE podcast, United Security. On today's episode, they discuss the lessons learned from the government's response to 9/11 and how President George W. Bush's comments condemning Islamophobia demonstrated the importance of moral leadership in the aftermath of a national tragedy. They also delve into the prosecution of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, one of the architects of the attacks, and why maintaining strong international relationships is critical to combating terrorism. Finally, they examine why there is still no federal domestic terrorism statute. At the end of the episode, Preet shares his own reflections on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. In the bonus for Insiders, they discuss how 9/11 sparked the creation of government entities such as the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Plus, how must the government adapt to confront today's evolving threats?

9/11’s 25th anniversary should be about the victims, their families, and reflecting on an event that altered the course of our history. Of course, Trump is using the anniversary to aggrandize himself, and Republicans–especially former NYC mayor Rudy Giuliani–are furious at NYC’s current mayor Mamdani for attending the 9/11 memorial because Mamdani is muslim. Mamdani just released a report showing that NYC officials lied about how many toxins were left in the air following the collapse of the twin towers, toxins which killed thousands of people. No wonder Giuliani is so mad. Join hosts Angela Rye and Bakari Sellers for episode 148 of Native Land Pod. We are 54 days away from the midterm elections. Welcome home y’all!

And that has everyone asking: Have Democrats sufficiently denounced antisemitism?In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss: * Donald Trump's seemingly deteriorating mental state; * The political valence of antisemitism vs. Islamophobia;* Why institutional opponents of antisemitism don't hold Republicans to any standard.Then, should there be a moratorium on artificial intelligence development? The nature of the risks suggest yes, but the logistical and political challenges seem insurmountable. But, then, shouldn't A.I. developers be taking a firmer stand? Why do they make dire warnings about A.I. risk out of one side of their mouth, but then devote all of their political efforts to attacking candidates who support A.I. regulation. Will there be a grand settlement before something terrible happens? Or will catastrophe be what spurs action, and we just have to hope it doesn't come too late?Answers are available in full to listeners and viewers on YouTube.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani called on current Mayor Zohran Mamdani not to attend an annual ceremony commemorating the terror attacks on Sept. 11, 2001. Giuliani also made false claims about Islam, Mamdani's religion. Mamdani said he will attend the ceremony. Moustafa Bayoumi, professor at Brooklyn College, explains more.Then, in the months following the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attack in New York City, officials repeatedly reassured New Yorkers that the air in lower Manhattan was safe to breathe. But this week, 170,000 pages of documents made public by Mamdani show that wasn't true. Ben Chevat, executive director at the nonprofit 9/11 Health Watch, breaks down the findings.And, in 1998, terror attacks hit two U.S. embassies and in 2000, the USS Cole was attacked. Princeton University historian Julian Zelizer says these events were warning signs ahead of 9/11 that the government missed.See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.NPR Privacy Policy

Dave Rubin of "The Rubin Report" gives a first look at the stories you need to know to start your day, including criticism of 9/11 education after reporting found that only Arizona and Florida require the attacks to be taught in public schools and highlighted a University of Pennsylvania curriculum emphasizing Islamophobia, civil liberties, and other post-9/11 consequences; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky discussing his meetings with Trump envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff as they explore restarting negotiations and reducing escalation before winter; and workers without college degrees experiencing one of their strongest job markets in decades while the federal workforce falls to its lowest level in more than 60 years; and much more. #rubinreport #911attack #education #nyc #ukrainewar #jobs #jobmarket #daverubin

A quarter century after the September 11 attacks emboldened then-President George W. Bush to launch the “war on terror,” many Americans might like to think they're wiser than the politicians and pundits who unleashed a flood of anti-Muslim hatred and eroded civil liberties through warrantless wiretaps and racist deportation campaigns.But some of the most notorious Bush-era advents — like the Department of Homeland Security and the prison colony at Guantánamo Bay — don't appear to be going anywhere. Nor does the phenomenon of Islamophobia, which is playing a major role in the current political cycle. Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed — who, if elected, would be the first Muslim U.S. senator — has been called a terrorist, a radical Islamist, and a threat to national security, as pro-corporate and pro-Israel super PACs spend millions on ads that paint him as a terrorist sympathizer. In New York City, meanwhile, local media has suggested that the city's first Muslim mayor, Zohran Mamdani, should not attend the commemoration of the World Trade Center attacks, as if to do so would be an insult to the victims and their families.“Islamophobia actually becomes more rampant during election season — not necessarily after a terrorist attack, but actually during election season in the U.S.,” journalist Rozina Ali tells The Intercept Briefing. “What's happened over the last three decades is that Islamophobia has become a feature of American politics. ... When you can't actually discuss the policies, when we're not willing to engage in facts, it's really easy to throw racist rhetoric at people.”“The fight that we're seeing now is whether we are willing to accept all forms of religion in this country. And as much as I want to say this is just more of what we've seen in the past, I think what does frighten me is how quickly we are moving to a place where some governor or some local official might try to outlaw Islam altogether. And mind you, this is even a policy shift from 10 years ago when Trump called for a Muslim ban,” says Ali. “What has been happening recently is that the rhetoric ... has been shifting toward, ‘Islam is not a religion, it's a political ideology.' This is not a new talking point, but it is becoming institutionalized. There are efforts to make it into law, which is a frightening place to be.”This week on the podcast, host Akela Lacy speaks to Ali about how anti-Muslim rhetoric and policies are on the rise and have endured, or even worsened, in the post-9/11 world, as well as her new book, “Seasons of Fury: Four Families and the Rise of Islamophobia in America.” Ali shares the first case in which the NSA admitted to spying on a U.S. citizen, Arab American attorney Abdeen Jabara, as well as the story of imam Yassin Aref, a victim of a controversial sting operation who served 15 years in federal prison due to the ambiguous “material support” for terrorism law first passed in the '90s. It was the same charge used to convict anti-ICE protesters at Prairieland Detention Center to decades in prison this year.“This was something lot of civil rights lawyers and activists were warning about even back then, because they recognized that this law and this war on terror can be used to attack dissidents and eventually will be used to attack a lot more people than the Muslim community. And that is what we're seeing now,” says Ali.“Because we've given so much power to the executive branch, because we've given so much power to the government over the last 25 years, the government gets to decide who they consider enemies, who they consider terrorists, and what they consider support for terrorism,” says Ali. “The Trump administration can say, ‘I now consider leftists terrorists,' and unfortunately, there are laws in the books that allow him to do that.”Full transcript: https://interc.pt/4zPINylKeep our investigations free and fearless at theintercept.com/join.
