HARTFORD - Al talks with Mongi Dhaouadi, executive director of the Connecticut Chapter of CAIR (Council on American Islamic Relations) and senior program officer at Washington-based CSID (Center for the Study of Islam and Democracy) about how Connecticut Muslims are reaching out, against the twin problems of fighting ISIS and Islamophobia.

Last month, Hillary Clinton said she was sympathetic to voters attracted to Donald Trump's message, who feel left behind on the economic margins of America.

The former secretary of state told a crowd of young digital content creators at a town hall-style meeting in Hollywood, California, that more must be done to create jobs and improve the economy.

She said she understands why some people are upset or fearful about foreign trade or illegal immigration.

Clinton said she's looking for solutions and warns about "misleading promises" and a Trump agenda that she says would take the country backward.

She says she is not sympathetic with Islamophobia, xenophobia, homophobia, misogyny and other "sort of dog whistle's that Trump uses to create that fervor among a lot of his supporters."

"That is contrary to our values," she said.
