Ep. 26 Michigan Imam on Kamala Harris, Wokeness, and Israel (FIERY Debate)
Hassan al-Qazwini is one of the most prominent Muslim leaders in America. The Dearborn, Michigan-based Imam has been an American citizen since 1998 and considers the United States to be the best country in the world to be a Muslim. However, he argues that Israel exerts an undue influence -- to put it mildly -- on our politics and has made him and the American Muslim community irate. We ask him about what it's like to live in America's Arab-majority city, how he will vote this November, what he thinks of his Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib, the difference between Sunni and Shia Muslims, AIPAC's influence on American politicians, and more.

We look forward to hearing your thoughts on this interview. It was fiery at times, and you may vehemently disagree with some of what the Imam said about Israel, America, and other subjects. But it's important to hear his perspective, and We the 66 believes that more conversation is the answer, not less. Comment thoughts below or email us at wethe66@rocanews.com.
