Zaiba & Uzma discuss election results which, at the time of this recording, was not yet called, but was highly suggestive of results they did not expect. Why don’t they have cause to celebrate regardless of who is elected this year?

This is a darker episode, with some sad reflections about what the turnout means in terms of the moral compass of America and who our real allies are. Conscience does not have to be consistent with only a political ideology, rather requires us to think, act, and vote along economic and social plans as well, especially those of us who are Muslim Americans. A close election isn’t just a close call, but a larger revelation about the limitations of white liberalism/privilege, a two party system, and political rhetoric in this nation.

Now that we know who the President of the United States is, this is a great reflection of where so many of us were one week ago. This month will be a Kubler Ross stages of grief series reflecting on this election and what it means about our society. When we know better, we vote better, we do better.
