Alumnus Interviewed on Muslim-American Experience in Post-9/11 World on NPR

Wajahat Ali ’94, an attorney, essayist and playwright, was featured on National Public Radio (NPR) in September to talk about the Muslim-American experience in a post-9/11 world. Mina Kim interviewed Ali, asking him about his personal experience on 9/11, his thoughts and feelings on the decade following and how he wrote his play, “The Domestic Crusaders,” which is about a Muslim family’s post-9/11 experience. Ali recently helped write a report on Islamophobia in America (a topic he focuses on at Center for American Progress), and was also interviewed on NPR in May 2011 following the death of Osama Bin Laden.
