Qasim Basir grew up in a world filled with prejudice. A world where Muslims were victimised and negatively portrayed. The tragic events on September 11, 2001 didn.t exactly help matters either.
.All I ever see in the media or all I have ever seen in the media was this negative portrayal of Muslims in America and around the world,. Basir says to If during a visit to Australia late last year.

.And so I just wanted to put a story out there that showed a more human version of the people . show something more accurate..
