In 2022, CAIR received a total of 5,156 complaints nationwide. This is a 23 percent decrease in total complaints since the 6,720 complaints CAIR received in 2021. Domestic politics have been less volatile over the last couple of years. Less volatility may have contributed to a reduction in the number of complaints. We note that complaints about law enforcement and government overreach dropped by 38 percent. At the same time, complaints about school incidents increased by 63 percent.
We’re going to make a bold claim today. We think our latest podcast episode covers a wider range of geographies and ecologies than anything you’re likely to listen to any time soon. From the marshes of southern Iraq, to a limestone quarry in Tunisia, to a small Sicilian village to Ditmars Park in Brooklyn and the building of the New York City Subway and the Statue of Liberty…. Our guest somehow connects it all (with a little help from Brian and his encyclopedic knowledge of limestone).
American mainstream media utterly failed its duty to the public in the lead up to the invasion of Iraq, largely opting to cheerlead (rather than question) the Bush administration’s arguments and plans for the war.

Mawlana tells the story of the well-known preacher Hatem Al Shenawy who hosts a series of moral, ethical, and religious debates through his popular TV show.

Hatem deals with the pressure of concealing what he really thinks about religious issues, especially under the restrictions imposed by state security.
