Euro Crisis, Terrorism And The Rise Of Islamophobia

http://pir.fiu.edu

01/26/15 - In the aftermath of European extremist attacks, pressure grows on EU leaders to improve security and combat terror threats. 

Join us for Monday’s Topical Currents when we visit with FIU political science professor Markus Thiel.  We’ll discuss the Eurocrisis, terrorism and the rise of Islamophobia, particularly among radical groups in numerous countries. Also, what’s ahead for the EU should Britain depart the coalition? That’s Topical Currents, Monday at 1pm on WLRN.

WLRN Radio's Joseph Cooper says producing and hosting Topical Currents is the most rewarding experience of his long radio career, which began at the University of Missouri School of Journalism in the 1970s.
Richard Ives came to WLRN in September 2000 to begin a new career in radio. Born in Fort Lauderdale, his family moved to Long Island, New York, where he grew up. After graduation from college and an unsatisfying stint in a job that, as he puts it, "paid the bills but for which I had no passion" he found himself contemplating a midlife career change after being laid-off.
