World events, like the shootings at the offices of French satire magazine Charlie Hebdo and the bombing at the 2013 Boston Marathon, have had a negative effect on the opinions held about followers of Islam. But in Vermont, almost 4,000 Muslims have easily integrated into the community.
Imam Islam Hassan of the Islamic Society of Vermont discusses the growth and outlook of the Muslim community in the state.
