Asra Nomani to Qasim Rashid: Why Are You Turning Your Back on Me? Do I Not Exist?

RUSH EXCERPT:

NOMANI: “What she said was callous and insensitive. I have to tell you as a Muslim that has grown up in America, what she said is typical. It's typical of what we hear in our living ram and mosques. Denial of tragedies that are expressed because of an extremist interpretation of what is happening now is you all are getting to see it in prime time. You're getting to live what we endure every day with denials, turning of the table, the victim card. We as Muslim reformers are on the hit list of the organizations that folks like Rasheeda Talib and Ilhan Omar are racing money for. The council of Islamic relations are not founded after 9-11 but the agenda to push a victimization of Muslims did start at 9-11 because they didn't want to deal with the extremism.”
