What if the Tucson, AZ shooter had been Muslim? Discuss this and other thought provoking topics including how Islamophobia has spread over the past decade, how this trend threatens other communities, and ways to counter it during a free and open to the public panel discussion at the Busboys and Poets 14th & V location on Saturday, January 15th at 4pm.

The panel discussion will be moderated by Faiz Shakir, a Vice President at the Center for American Progress.
