Muslim Americans React to Islamophobia and #YouAintNoMuslimBruv

The Brian Lehrer Show | Dec 8, 2015

Haider Ali Hussein Mullick, adjunct professor of the Naval War College and senior lecturer at the Naval Post Graduate School, discusses his op-ed for The New York Times, in which he warns against the San Bernardino incident becoming a catalyst for Islamophobia.

Plus: calls from Muslim Americans to discuss their reactions to the mass shooting and the political response.

We'll also discuss the #YouAintNoMuslimBruv hashtag, which sprung up over the weekend after an unidentified British onlooker condemned a knife-wielding man in a London Underground station with the phrase, "You ain't no Muslim, bruv!" The attacker has been charged with attempted murder.
