White Supremacy
On July 21, 2026 By MPAC
When 95% of foreign terrorist organization designations single out Muslim groups - while global white supremacy, Hindu militancy, and Jewish extremism are omitted - can we really call it counterterrorism? In this powerful clip from The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, Salam and Middle East scholar Dr. Jerrold Green expose how structural bias within the US Intelligence Community destroys American credibility on the world stage. Exposing these double standards is at the core of MPAC’s mission for systemic policy reform. Watch the full episode on YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Podcasts. Links in the description!

Salt Lake City stabbing
The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati
On July 17, 2026 By MPAC
If a Muslim stabbed a Christian or a Jew, there would be an immediate national outcry and calls for mass deportations. But when it's the other way around? Silence. In this urgent clip from MPAC President Salam Al-Marayati addresses the alarming reality of the recent stabbing of Syed Sohail Uddin in Salt Lake City by a man explicitly hunting for a Muslim victim. This tragedy mirrors the horrific killing of six-year-old Wadea in Chicago, yet local and national public officials remain silent. Salam directly links this localized violence to broader political tactics - pointing out the 61 members of Congress fueling "Islamic conspiracy" theories and states like Texas and Florida treating peaceful civic groups and mosques as threats. When political figures fuel anti-Muslim sentiments, they give a green light to radicalized individuals acting on dangerous conspiracy theories. MPAC stands firmly at the intersection of media and policy to break this institutional silence and demand that violent hate crimes are condemned equally, regardless of the victim's or culprit's background. We also extend our profound gratitude to the brave bystanders who stepped in, stopped the attacker, and saved a life. Confronting the toxic rhetoric that fuels these attacks is exactly how the team at MPAC fights to protect our communities every day. How can we force public officials and mainstream media to apply the same level of urgency and condemnation to anti-Muslim hate crimes as they do to other tragedies? Let us know below. #HateCrimeReform #MediaDoubleStandard #saltlakecity

How can you negotiate a peace deal for Gaza without any Gazans in the room? In this powerful clip from The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, host Salam Al-Marayati exposes the fatal flaw in Rahm Emanuel’s proposed "23-state solution" a plan that strips power from Palestinians and hands it to regional Arab governments. Exposing this continuous political erasure and fighting for true self-determination is exactly why MPAC works to change foreign policy narratives in Washington and the media.

Establishment politicians love to repeat the trope that Palestinians rejected "generous offers" for peace, but history tells a completely different story. In this powerful clip from The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, host Salam Al-Marayati dissects Rahm Emanuel’s speech, exposing how US and Israeli policies actually sabotaged peace from the assassination of Yitzhak Rabin by a Jewish extremist to the ignoring of the 2002 Arab Peace Initiative. Shifting these toxic, institutionalized narratives is precisely the work MPAC drives forward through aggressive media engagement and policy advocacy.

Is removing Benjamin Netanyahu really the magic solution to the Middle East crisis? In this critical clip from The MPAC Podcast with Salam Al-Marayati, host Salam Al-Marayati reveals a sobering truth: Netanyahu’s likely successors, like Naftali Bennett and Bezalel Smotrich, represent a much more aggressive and dangerous path forward. Moving beyond superficial political figures to address systemic policy is exactly why the team at MPAC pushes for raw, analytical truth in Washington and the media.
