When asked about his personal experiences being in the US post-9/11 & certain areas of Europe, Ahmed recalled moments of shocking discrimination.

“People used to spit on me on the trains; kids, women would hit me with their canes. It wasn’t passive racism, it was overt,” Ahmed shared, reflecting on the challenges he faced as a Muslim growing up in Austria and the US.
