In Cedar Rapids, “Nationally Recognized Expert” Todd Green Deplores “Epidemic of Islamophobia” (Part 1)
A report from the heartland of America, on ways to fight the “epidemic of anti-Muslim bigotry” that has apparently engulfed us, offers food for skeptical thought: Breaking through the noise of the 24-hour news cycle, where participants are more likely to yell than offer thoughtful discussion, isn’t easy.
