Adham is a foreign policy analyst and former advisor to the Pete Buttigieg campaign. Shadi is a senior fellow at Brookings Institution.
We discuss their recent piece: "How Foreign Policy Factors for American Muslims in 2020":

And reflect on the Bernie Sanders campaign's willingness to strongly support Palestinian rights and engage American-Muslims' on wider concerns related to U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East.
We examine the recent shift in American-Muslim attitudes towards homosexuality and the LGBTQ community, and why the center-left (largely personified by the Bernie Sanders campaign) resonated with many American-Muslim primary voters. Our discussion also reflects on recent protests in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran, and whether protestor demands line up with current American policy vis-a-vis longstanding preference to stability and security.
