Bridging the Divide
How the world looks through American eyes, and the myriad and unexpected ways that the world influences the United States.
A pastor and an imam 'programmed to hate one another' tell us how they bridged a religious divide and offer advice for Americans divided by faith and fear. Then we meet Bajhat Abdulwahed, a face familiar to many Iraqis but few Philadelphians. And we hear why Muslim women in America are being advised to 鈥榢eep a baseball cap handy in the car鈥�.
Plus, the dual life of a Somali-American teenager. And we ask: will hipsters erase the distinctive street art of Miami's Little Haiti?
