Episode description
On August 5, 2017, Emily Claire Hari (known at the time as Michael Hari), Michael McWhorter, and Joe Morris of Clarence, Illinois, detonated an improvised explosive inside the Dar Al-Farooq Islamic Center and Mosque in an effort to scare Muslims into leaving the United States. McWhorter and Morris pled guilty to crimes relating to the attack and Hari was convicted of several crimes in a 2020 federal trial. But despite their charges and sentences, what does that say about future religious hate crimes? What can we do to raise awareness and stop religious / cultural hate crimes?
