Islamophobic even by American standards
So I’m a very average middle aged white American, and overall appreciate the solid English language coverage of European news from a non-British perspective.

A very intriguing, well-researched and fascinating podcast. There is excellent journalism on display here by Deutsche Welle and I am so stunned that such a wealth of information and research is provided in such an easy to consume, free format. A truly 5-star podcast.
