Press TV: “In one minute, tell me, if this is the reality on the ground for African-Americans and obviously Muslim-Americans in the United States, what is the key then to change this reality? What has to be done?”

Abdul Alim Musa: “We have to have serious unity. The Muslims have to focus on affecting the direction of change. They are frightening the Muslims and the Muslims are too afraid to speak out for themselves. Those of us who speak out become an automatic target. But we have to speak out all together [sic] and we have to challenge our oppression. If we don’t challenge our oppression, then they’ll keep on doing it. We want to thank all the people of the Islamic Republic for supporting us here in America, and we thank you Press TV.” (Interview with the Iranian state-owned news outlet Press TV)“Muslim unity challenges US oppression: Abdul Alim Musa,” Press TV, August 16, 2014, http://presstv.com/detail/2014/08/16/375544/muslim-unity-challenges-us-oppression/.
