This weekend's special session will be one of the most important in recent memory.  Lawmakers and the governor must come to an agreement on how to shore up the growing shortfall.  But, will the session end with compromise, or a standoff?  Insights and analysis galore, ahead this week on NEW MEXICO IN FOCUS.  

Plus, dispelling stereotypes and shedding light on cultural differences. Join us as we preview this weekend's open house at the Islamic Center of New Mexico, and find out why many local Muslims say they're suffering from Islamaphobia.  Plus, an international expert and cultural anthropologist shares her findings about what it's like to be a Muslim woman, both here in New Mexico and across the glove.

Dr. Evelyn Early,  Cultural Anthropologist       Hebah Ahmed, Islamic Center of New Mexico
