A new Cornell University study shines a harsh light on America’s attitudes toward Muslim-Americans. Forty-four percent of respondents said the U.S. government should curtail the civil liberties of Muslim-Americans.

The percentage was higher for respondents who said they watched a lot of television news. Sixty-five percent of self-described “highly religious” people said Islam encourages violence.

Tune in to hear what the survey findings reveal about freedom of religion, diversity and acceptance in a post-9/11 America.
