I was 19 when I interviewed for a newsroom internship after 9/11. I expected questions about stories I wanted to report. Instead, they wanted to know one thing: did I speak Arabic?

I wrote for Acacia about what that question came to mean over the next 25 years. @acacia_mag

I interviewed @rozina_ali about the media’s long history of portraying Muslims as a threat.

As Rozina said: “Muslims are dangerous unless proved otherwise.”

Watching the coverage of Zohran Mamdani, the point is made rather starkly.
