‘We came from a very conservative interpretation of Islam’

EXCERPT:

NOMANI: "I wrote a first book called 'Standing Alone in Mecca' about advocating for an interpretation of Islam that allows for that integration. And I’m really excited about my next project as it's called 'Make Islam Great Again', borrowing from a -- a little phrase that’s become popular now --"
EARHARDT: "Mm-hmm."
NOMANI: "-- because I believe that we can make Muslims great and by practicing an interpretation of Islam, that appreciates women and girls and allows for integration and appreciation of the west.
