Twenty years after 9/11, producers and hosts Anisa Khalifa and Khadija Khalil explore what it meant to come of age in that moment. With a lineup of amazing guests who, like us, grew up Muslim in the shadow of 9/11, we’ll dig into how that changed the trajectories of our lives, and how the experience differed either side of the Atlantic. Muslim in Plain Sight features interviews with artists, activists, academics, religious leaders, and more. As a generation, we were just discovering our own voices when they were suddenly silenced from mainstream narratives. Instantly, we became both invisible and hypervisible. Our conversations here are a small attempt to remedy that erasure. Join us as we talk about how our world changed, and how we changed the world. Follow us on Twitter at @mipspod.

Plant a tree at the apocalypse
<p>It's the end! At least of this season. One year after we started, the week of 9/11, feels like the perfect time to say goodbye—for now. In this episode, we share our reflections on the series and sign off with our hopes for the future. Thank you for taking this emotional, cathartic, moving journey into the past with us. </p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.vulture.com/2022/03/trojan-horse-affair-podcast-british-response-interview.html#:~:text=As%20a%20media%20product%2C%20The,three%20and%20a%20half%20weeks.&text=But%20as%20impact%20journalism%2C%20the,have%20run%20into%20a%20wall." rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Trojan Horse Affair vs. the British Press</a></p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/sep/02/shamima-begum-trafficking-spy-home-office-citizenship" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">New information on the Shamima Begum case</a></p><p><a href="https://www.vox.com/2018/7/18/17561538/denaturalization-citizenship-task-force-janus" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Trump administration's plan to denaturalize citizens</a></p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/mipspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.

Lost and found at Guantánamo with Mansoor Adayfi
<p>Mansoor Adayfi is a former Guantánamo detainee, coordinator of CAGE’s Guantánamo Project, and author. In his unforgettable, haunting memoir, Don’t Forget Us Here, he recounts his 14 years of detention, torture, resistance and brotherhood in the vile camps of Guantánamo. In this interview, Mansoor tells us how his living nightmare started, how faith, art and brotherhood sustained him, and how, amazingly, he’s held onto both his sense of humor and his hope for the future. </p><p><strong>References:</strong></p><p><a href="https://www.hachettebooks.com/titles/mansoor-adayfi/dont-forget-us-here/9780306923876/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Buy Mansoor's book</a>, Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantánamo</p><p><a href="https://www.indiewire.com/2022/03/muslim-american-filmmakers-open-letter-sundance-1234704004/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Muslim filmmakers and activists respond</a> to Islamophobic Sundance film Jihad Rehab</p><p>Seton Hall University's <a href="https://law.shu.edu/policy-research/guantanamo-reports.cfm" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Guantánamo Reports</a></p><p><a href="https://www.artfromguantanamo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Art from Guantánamo</a></p><p><a href="https://www.cage.ngo/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Support CAGE</a>, advocates against the injustices of the War on Terror</p><p><a href="https://www.democracynow.org/2022/1/11/guantanamo_bay_20_anniversary_mansoor_adayfi" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Amy Goodman's interview with Mansoor</a>, who wears his signature orange</p><p>Follow Mansoor on social media @MansoorAdayfi</p><p>Follow us on <a href="https://www.twitter.com/mipspod" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Twitter</a>.

A little less fearful, a little more fierce with The Qarawiyyin Project
<p>The Qarawiyyin Project is a global initiative aimed at reviving Islamic discourse among Muslim women. Through their work, they analyse contemporary challenges through an Islamic lens. We talk to Aisha and Sarah of TQP, who, like us, are on opposite sides of the Atlantic. Unlike us, however, they never really experienced a pre-9/11 world.</p><p>We discuss the legacies of the early response of Muslim communities to 9/11 and the shape of the post-War on Terror world, how Muslim identity has been fashioned by apologetics instead of creed, and whether the concept of "identity" is even a meaningful benchmark for who we are or should be, as Muslims. </p><p>Check out <a href="https://qarawiyyinproject.co/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Qarawiyyin Project</a> and <a href="https://anchor.fm/qarawiyyin-podcast" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Qarawiyyin Podcast</a>.
