…Overall, President Biden’s first year in office represented a mix of progress and status quo for American Muslims. This is not a surprise. Again, no one should have expected President Biden to become a champion of our community, nor should our community ever count on any politician for our security.
Instead, the good and the bad of President Biden’s first year in office shows that our community can advance, and has advanced, positive change through engagement—but that there’s still much more work to be done.
