Somali-American mom talks anti-terror recruitment, profiling

Mothers Against Youth Recruitment and Hate Crime hosted a town hall forum on Thursday to talk about the continual attention focused on Minnesota's Muslim community.

Just earlier this week, an 11th man from the Twin Cities was charged with conspiracy to provide material support to ISIS.

One of the mothers organizing the event is Farhio Khalif. She's also a member of a Somali-American task force working with U.S. Attorney Andy Luger to prevent radicalism.

Khalif sat down with All Things Considered host Tom Crann on Thursday to talk on a variety of issues, including anti-recruitment efforts.
