Review of "Good Muslims, Great Americans"

After the consistent and pervasive denigration of Islam in this country following the events of Sept. 11th and perpetuated by the war in Iraq, it's quite refreshing to listen to a piece that goes beyond the obvious notion that "not all Muslims are terrorists" and instead focusses not only on the contributions made by Muslim-Americans, but also puts current anti-Muslim prejudices into historical perspective. Well done, Mr Gassiott.
