Todd Green

Todd Green is the Executive Director of America Indivisible, a coalition effort to address rising bigotry against members of Muslim communities. Previously, he served as a professor of religion at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. A nationally recognized scholar of Islamophobia, Dr. Green served as a Franklin Fellow at the U.S. State Department in 2016-17, where he analyzed and assessed the impact of anti-Muslim prejudice in Europe on countering violent extremism initiatives, refugee and migrant policies, and human rights. He has also given lectures on Islamophobia to other government agencies, including the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security, and he has been interviewed by a variety of media outlets, including CNN, NPR, The Washington Post, and Al Jazeera.

His first book on Islamophobia, The Fear of Islam: An Introduction to Islamophobia in the West, was cited in an amicus curiae brief filed by prominent civil rights organizations, including the NAACP and the National Urban League, in the U.S. Supreme Court. The brief argued in favor of enjoining President Trump’s executive order banning entry into the United States from select Muslim-majority countries. He is also the author of Presumed Guilty: Why We Shouldn’t Ask Muslims to Condemn Terrorism. The book argues that singling out Muslims and asking them to condemn terrorist attacks is a distraction that prevents majority populations in the United States and Europe both from facing their own violent histories and from asking critical questions about how their countries’ national security initiatives and foreign policies contribute to a violent world order.
