State Representative Movita Johnson-Harrell is the first Muslim elected to serve in Pennsylvania's State Legislature,and was recently sworn in. Instead of this historic even being the focus of discussion, it has been the opening prayer of State Rep. Stephanie Borowicz that many in attendance, and many who have since watched it, have taken offense to.

Our guest today, is one of the leaders of Pennsylvania's Muslim community, Salima Suswell. Salima served as Senior Senior Consultant and Political Director for Rep Johnson Harrells election campaign. She shares her insights on the event and more.
