Andrea Elliott

New York Times reporter Angela Elliott profiles the Brooklyn lawyer behind the anti-Shariah movement. She says David Yerushlami "has come to exercise a striking influence over American public discourse about Shariah."

In a recent New York Times Magazine cover story, reporter Andrea Elliott explained how the small Moroccan neighborhood of Jamaa Mezuak has bred terrorists responsible for a number of recent high-profile attacks. Some were involved in the Madrid train bombings; some went to Iraq. Elliott won a Pulitzer Prize this year for her series An Imam in America.
