Sabiha Khan and Hussam Ayloush, CEO of CAIR-CA and a Syrian American Muslim human rights activist, discuss U.S.-Muslim world relations, focusing on Syria’s history, the Assad regime, the Arab Spring, and the story of its successful revolution. Ayloush highlights the struggles of the Syrian and Palestinian people, the impact of foreign powers, and the importance of distinguishing between real and fake allies. He emphasizes the responsibility of American Muslims in advocating for justice, particularly under the Trump administration, and calls for unity, faith, and resilience in the fight for human rights, especially in ending the US-Israeli genocide in Gaza and apartheid in Palestine. @CAIRGLA Support The American Muslim Dialogue Podcast by becoming a channel Patreon.
