Qasa asks, are listeners fed up with explaining to their non-Asian friends what an arranged marriage is?

Are you fed up explaining what an arranged marriage is to your friends who aren't Asian? We're asking that after a Pakistani designer produced a board game, which challenges perceptions around this form of marriage. Then Qasa speaks to Yusuf, a 14-year-old American teen, whose video went viral after declaring he wants to become the first Muslim president of the United States. Also the 91热爆's Kamal Ahmed and a group of students from Azhad Academy talk to us about the annual 91热爆 School Report. This year's agenda is centred around "fake news". Then we hear from writer and activist Meena Kandasamy, who has been longlisted for a Women's Prize for Fiction award. And American teenager Zihan tells us about an open letter he posted on Twitter after his school decided not to participate in the National Walkout. Students and school staff across the US took part in a protest against gun violence, a month after a shooting at a Florida school left 17 people dead.
