Context Corner presents an exclusive and timely conversation with Azhar Azeez, former president of the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) and one of the most senior leaders of the Muslim community in Texas, addressing the alarming rise in anti-Muslim sentiment across America.

“Islamophobia is not a phobia, it’s a reality. Every single day we encounter number of cases of hate, discrimination, bigotry.” - Azhar Azeez

Azeez offers both community leaders and everyday citizens practical pathways toward creating meaningful change through relationship-building and education.
