Connections: Reactions From The Islamic Community After The Orlando Mass shooting

One day after the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we examine how the attack on the Orlando nightclub has impacted the gay and Islamic communities.

The shooting left 49 victims dead and more than 53 wounded. Investigators say the lone shooter was Omar Mateen, and they are treating the case as a terrorist investigation. 

We talk about how the Islamic community is reacting to the shooting, and we look at efforts made by both communities to ensure they are not pitted against each other. What is the path forward? We also talk about the debate on gun policy. Our guests:
