Steve Scaffidi concludes his Faith and Politics series with Murabi Muzzamil Jalaal, a Muslim faith leader, for a wide-ranging conversation about Islam, service, family, politics and the importance of building bridges across communities.
Minister Jalal explains how his faith calls him to serve all of humanity, defend justice and promote peace. He and Steve discuss the role of mosques as welcoming spaces, the importance of Muslim participation in American politics, generational differences within faith communities and why political labels should never matter more than character and justice.
“We are at a very pivotal point, not only nationally but globally. We can pivot for the best through unity, or we can pivot to the worst through separation.”
