Chaplain James Yee - NACA

Captain James Yee, a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and former US Army Chaplain, explores present day Islamophobia as it relates to the social, legal and national security conscious climate of our time. Yee draws on his unique experience as the former Muslim Chaplain at Guantanamo Bay, an American-born Muslim convert, and an elected National Delegate for Barack Obama during the 2008 presidential election season, to provide a captivating view of Islam in America and the challenges faced by everyday Muslims in our nation. Clarifying the many misconceptions about Islam and Muslims, he provokes reflection on our American values, especially those of diversity, religious freedom, tolerance and justice and provides insight on how to foster better mutual understanding.
