Dalia Mogahed Mapping the American Muslim Experience | Episode 1 | Muslim Women Series
Episode Description
A Black History Month book report changed everything. A Madison, Wisconsin, public school student discovered Malcolm X was Muslim and realized Islam predated her Egyptian family in America. That revelation transformed Dalia Mogahed into one of the most influential Muslim voices in the country.
In this episode of WISE Women with Daisy Khan with host Daisy Khan, Dalia Mogahed shares research that challenges what Americans believe about Muslim women. She spent six years interviewing 50,000 Muslims across 35 countries for Gallup's largest study ever. Most Muslim women worldwide say their faith liberates them, they want equal rights, and the path runs through Islam, not around it. Muslim voter registration jumped 60% to 85% in nine years, the fastest civic engagement growth of any American community. Yet women vote less than men despite breaking glass ceilings. Dalia discusses Mamdani's 300% youth turnout surge and what ISPU surveys reveal about voter apathy. One answer dominates: no one represents my actual concerns.

WISE Women with Daisy Khan
Where Muslim voices rise, bridges are built, and history's unsung heroines reclaim their light.
WISE Women with Daisy Khan gives voice to Muslims sharing their experiences with anti-Muslim bias, educates non-Muslims to become upstanders against discrimination, and spotlights extraordinary women throughout history whose contributions have been erased. We reclaim faith as a force for good while building bridges between East and West, transforming fear into understanding, one conversation at a time.
We challenge disinformation with knowledge and empathy, confronting the weaponization of religion for political gain. This isn't just another podcast. It's a bridge between communities taught to fear each other, opening hearts and minds to build the understanding our divided world needs.
Welcome to WISE Women. Where wisdom meets courage, and voices become bridges.
