Does the Republican Party have an Islamophobia problem? Muslims in the US say they are facing levels of Islamophobia worse than directly after 9/11 - and blame Republican politicians for driving anti-Islam sentiment.

Texas is home to the Anti-Sharia caucus, and its governor wants to ban foot washing stations in its airports. And as the Republican convention kicks off in Dallas, TrumpWorld looks at the Islamophobia emanating from the state, and asks how a fringe issue has become rife in the Republican party.

In this episode of TrumpWorld, Matt Frei and Anushka Asthana are joined by Mobashra Tazamal, who researches Islamophobia at Georgetown University’s Bridge Initiative.
