Complex World goes beyond the headlines with real issues and real news. In the last week of Ramadan, we spoke to 'Everyday Struggle' co-host Wayno about being Muslim and the connection between hip-hop and Islam. We also talked to Imam Khalid Latif from NYU about the sweeping surveillance of Muslims that takes place in New York City and across the country.

Kind of emotional. Seeing Islam talked about on a platform a lot of people watch. Islam is for the whole of mankind not a particular race or group of people. Allah say in the Qur’an “ This is the Truth from your Lord so be not of those who doubt “.

There’s always gonna be people who hate our religion, they are either ignorant or ill informed.

This is dope. I like these types of videos that talk about subjects affecting people in America but aren’t spoken about in the mainstream. Shout out to Complex for this one.
