Public Enemy - Episode 2

From Public Enemy, 11:30 am on 12 November 2016

How do you hold onto an identity when it's constantly under attack?

In this episode, Mohamed Hassan talks with Australian Muslims, who say they've had to endure a relentless counter-terrorism campaign.

They tell him it has left them alienated and living in fear, with increasingly divisive politics directly attacking their way of life.

This series looks at the growing Muslim communities in the United States, Australia and New Zealand, and how elections, war and xenophobia have affected their lives.
