Then we'll talk to Ali Gharib about the outpouring of rank Islamophobia from the GOP primaries, and how it signals a party that's going off the rails and losing the message. Gharib wrote about that for The Guardian this week.
Finally, we'll speak with Akbar Ahmed, a former Pakistani ambassador in the UK who is now a professor at American University's School of International Service. Ahmed has been studying the differences between American Muslims and Europe's Muslim communities, and his insights go a long way toward explaining the domestic terror problem Europe faces today.
