The following is an interview conducted by RadioIslam.com's Sr. Itrath Syed on Muslims participating in the political process in North America.

In over 30 years, Muslims and the media have gone from being a virtual non-issue to becoming the subject of books, conferences, articles, meetings with media outlets and PhD.. dissertations. This relationship has undergone continued strain, and more recently, positive change.

In this interview with Dr. Ahmadullah Siddiqi, author of "Islam, Muslims and Media: Myths and Realities", Siddiqi shares his journey to becoming a Muslim media scholar and activist, as well as providing an important analysis of the ongoing negative coverage of Islam and Muslims in Western media, along with practical advice for activism in this area.
