Nashwan Hamza

Call It What You Will Salinas

This week we speak to local activist, Nashwan Hamza. Dom and Walter have a conversation with Nashwan his experiences as a Muslim-American and what it means to be a Muslim. Nashwan answers our many questions as we admittedly are not very knowledgable of Islam. We discuss some of the more well known traditions such as Ramadan, the Hajj, and the how the cultural differences within a country are reflected in Islam. Dom admits his long confusion with how does one properly respond to or greet a Muslim in Arabic. This episode was a fun conversation with Nashwan and we look forward to this being the first of many conversations on Islam and Muslim-Americans.
