The current climate in the United States in terms of Islamophobia is worse today than the 24 months after 9/11. This town hall meeting will discuss many important topics related to being Muslim in America today. In addition to the experience of being Muslim in America, there will be time devoted to the real/perceived lack of religious freedoms and tolerance in Muslim countries for non-Muslims.

This event is an opportunity for various Muslim organizations and stakeholders to share their experiences and expertise with Muslims and non-Muslims concerned with the increasing trend of Islamophobia in the United States.
