Riz Khan

The Arab Street

How are the recent pro-democracy uprisings in the region changing stereotypes about Arabs in the Western world?

Does an ‘Arab Street’ exist?

We speak with Ibish Hussein who debunks the term as a Western myth of a monolithic Arab identity steeped in chaos and violence. Dalia Mogahad, the co-author of Who Speaks for Islam: What a Billion Muslims Really Think? also joins the show.
