In 2001, Haroon Moghul was a student at NYU and a founder of the university’s Islamic Center. But after a crisis of faith he had plans to leave his leadership role. Instead, the 9/11 attacks thrust him into the spotlight as a spokesperson for American Muslims. Now, Moghul is out with a memoir titled “How to Be a Muslim: An American Story.” Moghul joins us to talk about his struggles with bipolar disorder and the “burden” of being a “professional Muslim.”
