Description

This week, we cut to the feeling with cultural critic and poet Hanif Abdurraqib, author of "They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us".  Ahmed and Hanif play a game of ’Carly Rae or Sufi?” and then chat about being the only POC in punk spaces and growing up Muslim. Later we call up Layla Abdullah-Poulos from NbA Muslims to unpack tribalism in the Muslim community, state violence, and the role of Muslim voices in the conversation about the Stephon Clark shooting. Follow Hanif @NifMuhammad, you can find "They Can't Kill Us Until They Kill Us" and other works by Hanif at http://www.abdurraqib.com/book/.  Read his BuzzFeed essay https://www.buzzfeed.com/hanifabdurraqib/before-911-muslims-were-a-curiosity-now-were-targets?utm_term=.oxNYGo26Y#.mfoMQqwRM.  Follow Layla @LaylaAPoulos and read her blog NbA Muslims at http://www.patheos.com/blogs/nbamuslims/.
