What if this was anthrax?”about an FBI informant who infiltrated his family’s mosque in the Sacramento area in 2002 when Minhaj was a junior in high school.
While admitting the stories were fiction, Minhaj said they were based on “emotional truth,” adding “The punch line is worth the fictionalized premise.”
