Wajahat Ali '07 Interviewed on Talk of the Nation
Wajahat Ali '07 was interviewed at length on the National Public Radio program Talk of the Nation, where he shared his impressions of the TLC network's new reality television show All-American Muslim. Ali said of the show, which aims to dispel misconceptions and stereotypes about Muslims, "It's honest, it's real, it's human, and it's nice to see a show where Muslims aren't terrorists, taxi cab drivers or potential terrorists, you know? They're just people."
Ali, a Pakistani-American who grew up in Fremont before attending UC Berkeley and then King Hall, has enjoyed a successful career as a writer, authoring an acclaimed play, Domestic Crusaders, and contributing essays and articles to publications including The Guardian of London and The Huffington Post.
