A Look at Muslims in the US 15 Years After 9/11


In the aftermath of the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the United States found itself grappling with not only healing and mourning, but also how to address acts of terror committed by people identifying as Muslims without treating all Muslims as a threat.

Fifteen years later, Islamophobia and conflicting perceptions of Muslim-Americans remain problems without clear-cut solutions. Joining “Chicago Tonight” to discuss the treatment and perception of Muslims in the U.S. are Ahmed Rehab, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations' Chicago office; and Alberto Coll, professor at DePaul University's College of Law and Director of European and Latin American Legal Studies.
