Why is Islamophobia so common in the United States? Dr. Caleb Elfenbein, author of the book Fear in Our Hearts: What Islamophobia Tells Us about America, joins us to discuss what Islamophobia reveals about life in America today. We explore why anti-Muslim fear persists throughout the country, how Muslim communities have responded to Islamophobia, and how everyone can combat Islamophobia so that Muslims thrive in the United States.

As an extension of the online magazine the Revealer, this podcast explores the social and political roles religion plays throughout the world. How should we make sense of religion's influence on politics, sexuality, race, and people's everyday lives? Produced by NYU's Center for Religion and Media and hosted by Dr. Brett Krutzsch, each month we'll sit down with experts to discuss how religion shapes our world. Join us for this important conversation.
