The Mosque Controversy as a Teachable Moment: A Facing History and Ourselves Podcast

In this Facing History and Ourselves podcast, Adam Strom, director of research and development, sees  the recent mosque controversy, and other similar controversies around the world, as teachable moments.

The controversy over Park51—the Lower Manhattan Islamic culture center and mosque—and the recent stabbing of a Muslim cab driver in New York City are reminders that for all of our strengths as a nation, we are not good at talking about religion.


This podcast was produced by Adam Strom and narrated by Mark Chapin. Facing History and Ourselves Podcast theme music by John Englander.
