9:52Now PlayingCongress has decided to take action on the matter of Islamophobia.
On Dec. 14, the House passed a bill that aims to tackle this issue worldwide.
Written by Reps. Ilhan Omar and Jan Schakowsky, the Combating International Islamophobia Act would require the U.S. State Department to create a special envoy that would “help policymakers better understand the interconnected, global problem of anti-Muslim bigotry.”
The bill now heads to the Senate.
Sahar Aziz, professor and chancellor’s social justice scholar at Rutgers University, joins Marc Lamont Hill on “Black News Tonight” to discuss the bill and its potential impact.
