Thank you to @Samar_Ali81 of @AMillionConvos for writing this guest column in response to the ad in the @Tennessean.

""Islamophobia is an industry of books and paid speakers ... The speakers go around the country and peddle their conspiracy theories," Mohyuddin said. "This is something we are continually having to push back against." \
I appreciate the comment of @zulfat4council too.
“We got the apology. That was nice and dandy, but that’s not enough,” Suara said. “For us, it’s making sure it doesn’t happen again.
"For us, it’s making sure it doesn’t happen to another community." \

We are planning to work with Muslim leaders on diversity, inclusion & equity training for sales & news staff and work hard on anti-racism work.
Our editorial board is meeting with Muslim leaders and following up with more steps after that.
We know we have a lot of work to do.
