Four Thought - Being Muslim in America
Download Being Muslim in America
Dalia Elmelige tells the story of her life as a Muslim in America after 9/11.
'I didn't get to celebrate my little brother's first birthday', begins Dalia, as she describes her life as a Muslim in post-9/11 America. From playground bullying to work at the Carter Presidential Center on countering ISIS propaganda, in many ways her life has been defined by the aftermath of 9/11. In this moving talk, introduced by Olly Mann, Dalia shares some reflections on isolation and identity.
Producer: Giles Edwards.
