HOUR ONE:
Caner Dagli
Caner Dagli is an associate professor of religious studies at the College of the Holy Cross and an expert in Islamic studies. He shares his new book “The Study Quran: A New Translation and Commentary”.
"I think it's an insult to American voters's intelligence when politicians try to scare them about Muslims and Syrian refugees," Dagli says. He addresses the misrepresentations in the media about radical Islamic terrorists, calling the population of such violent sects "microscopic" compared to the 1.6 billion world Muslim population. "They look for quotes that are convenient to them...They cherry pick...They look for quotes of violence."

She’s contemplating moving back to her home state of Virginia, where her vote would count for something. By day, Crystal is a communications consultant and editor and publisher of the blog Conservative Black Chick.
