In December of 2004, Hassan Shibly and his family were returning to Buffalo, New York from a religious conference held annually in Toronto, Canada. While those returning expected to declare their citizenship upon returning to the U.S. what they didn't expect was to be detained for a special terrorism screening process.

What followed was the subject of a federal lawsuit by the New York Civi Liberties Union on behalf of those detained at the border for no other reason than their religious beliefs.

The case, known as Tabbaa v. Chertoff (challenging DHS policy or practice of detaining and interrogating Americans returning from Islamic conference) thrust these inherently discriminatory practices into the spotlight.

In this week's broadcast, we bring Part II of our "Know Your Right's at the Border " miniseries. Listen in as Shibly discusses the conference and his experiences.

Organized by college students, the Reviving the Islamic Spirit (RIS) Conference is a mainstream cultural and religious gathering that advocates peace, tolerance, and unity held at the Toronto Skydome, which featured speakers, included religious activities, and was endorsed by prominent politicians from both Canada and United States.
