16:00Now Playing“I'm visibly Muslim… I really felt like there was a constant target on my back…. It really, really amplified after, you know, Trump and the whole MAGA movement gained a lot of traction in this country. I felt for a long time that it hasn't been safe for people like us. The political atmosphere is extremely violent now. It's supercharged.”
After a deadly shooting at San Diego’s largest Islamic center, Mehdi Hasan spoke with Rana Dbeis, a mother of a preschooler who was locked down during the shooting, about the rise in Islamophobia in Donald Trump’s America.
Rana describes the moment she learned there was an active shooter at her five-year-old son’s school, calling out the lack of accountability from Republicans, including Islamophobes like Vice President JD Vance and MAGA influencer Laura Loomer. She also shares what she wants people to know about the San Diego Muslim community and remembers the three beloved victims who distracted the shooters and prevented them from reaching over 100 children at the school next door.
