YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat if the Muslim representation we’ve been fighting for is actually working against us?
In this Focal Point episode, Imam Tom Facchine explores the rise of Muslim representation in media, politics, and pop culture, and why it might be more harmful than helpful. From tokenism to identity politics, we unpack how visibility without values can betray the very communities it claims to uplift.
