I know that you recently covered Zahraan Mamdani's mayoral campaign in New York and some of the Islamophobia that's been stirring up.

How does all of that contextualize your decision about wanting to send your kids to Islamic school?

Yeah.

That's so beautifully said.

That's perfect.

Okay, we're going to take a quick break.
