A Response to Dr. Jordan Peterson’s Comments

Videos
On July 29, 2022 By MPAC
Recently, a YouTube video was posted disparaging our community, assuming and insisting that American Muslims are not working to further dialogue, both internally within our faith and externally. Usually, we would not engage such an individual, one whose goal seems disingenuous given his background. However, given that such a significant part of the policy work we do at the Muslim Public Affairs Council is done through collaboration with members of the faith community, we decided that a response was necessary.  That individual is Dr. Jordan Peterson, a social media influencer who works with Ben Shapiro's conservative news site, The Daily Wire.  Ensuring positive policy outcomes for American Muslims is at the core of our mission in Washington D.C.  To share our work in this critical collaboration, please hear more about our work below.  ---------- Subscribe to MPAC's channel: http://bit.ly/MPACYouTube Like MPAC on Facebook: http://fb.com/mpacnational Follow MPAC on Twitter: http://twitter.com/mpac_national Follow MPAC on Instagram: http://instagram.com/mpac_national Visit MPAC's website: http://mpac.org About the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC) We improve public understanding and policies that impact American Muslims by engaging our government, media, and communities.
