A Pakistani-Canadian activist's visit to the State Capitol on Wednesday rankled some Minnesota legislators, while Republican lawmakers in the meeting said Raheel Raza's perspective deserved to be heard.
Raza describes herself as a reformist Muslim focused on "fighting radical jihadist ideologies." She spoke with a small group of Republican legislators, while DFLers said she should not have been invited.
