Just because you can’t prevent every attack from happening, I’m not sure that, that’s reason to not make an effort. I’d like to think that defeating the ideology that underlies some of this is a start.” -Khurram Dara, Author, “Contracting Fear: Islamic Law in the Middle East and Middle America,” New York, New York

The recent attacks in Paris, San Bernardino, and Jakarta as well as the deteriorating situation in Libya have demonstrated that the threat from ISIS has expanded in scope, and the US and international community have thus far failed to successfully address the challenge ISIS poses.

In this episode America Abroad examines the current status of ISIS; discusses the role and efficacy of US military power in Iraq and Syria; hears from Muslim-Americans about how best to prevent extremism here at home; and features a Transatlantic town hall dialogue in which Americans and European discuss ways to combat radicalization.

Guests included:

  • James Jeffrey: Philip Solondz Distinguished Fellow, The Washington Institute
  • Anne-Marie Slaughter: President & CEO, New America
  • Hassan Hassan: Resident fellow, The Tahrir Institute for Middle East Peace
  • Khurram Dara: Author, “Contracting Fear: Islamic Law in the Middle East and Middle America”
  • Hedieh Mirahmadi: President, The World Organization for Resource Development and Education
  • Abdimalik Mohamed: Director of International Affairs, Ka Joog
