Video: Karim Sulayman — I trust you
.
Karim Sulayman is an Arab-American tenor from Chicago. Ten days after the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Sulayman teamed up with filmmaker Meredith Kaufman Younger to perform a trust experiment. Watch this silent video (set to Sulayman singing Sinead O’Connor’s “In this Heart”) as Sulayman stands blindfolded outside Trump International Hotel in Central Park West in New York City and asks strangers to trust him.

I shared this on FB. Very moving. I cried throughout. Instructive that everyone held back until the first brave person came forward, and then there was a stream of people responding.

Thanks, Naida, I love this video as well, and I’ve shared it on various sites a number of times. In this time when people of the Muslim faith are being demonized, it is wonderful to see a a performance demonstrating trust between strangers.
