We host a roundtable discussion about the terrorist attacks, and the response
to them, in New York, New Jersey and St. Cloud, Minnesota, where a man named
Dahir Adan is accused of knifing 10 people. After police arrested 28-year-old
Ahmad Khan Rahami, a suspect in Saturday’s bombings, concern has grown that the
government may overreact with security measures and individuals may carry out
hate crimes. "There is fear for our own personal security, especially for
American Muslim women who identify as Muslim via wearing the hijab," says Debbie
Almontaser, president of the Muslim Community Network. We also speak with Ramzi
Kassem, professor of law at the City University of New York School of Law, where
he directs the Immigrant & Non-Citizen Rights Clinic.
