A Shooting, Allegations of Islamophobia, and Controversial Sermons

In this episode of The Miller Report, Dr. Andrew Bostom joins Maggie Miller to discuss his RealClearInvestigations report examining the 2023 shooting outside the Islamic Center of Rhode Island and the public narrative that quickly formed around the incident.

Bostom walks through the timeline of the case, the findings of the police investigation, and the broader debate surrounding the term "Islamophobia." He also examines sermons and public statements connected to the mosque, arguing that rhetoric expressing hostility toward non-Muslims has too often escaped public scrutiny. According to Bostom, statements of a similar nature made by leaders of other faiths would almost certainly be met with widespread condemnation.
