As the 2012 election season heats up, American Muslims find themselves at the center of the growing debate about the role of mosques, sharia law, religious garb, and other issues related to religious freedom and Muslim life in the United States. This exciting day long symposium at the Newseum will bring together leading experts on religious freedom and American Muslims to examine many of the contentious questions fueling these debates. Several participants/panelists from the UK will offer a British/European perspective on these issues as well. Join the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding, the Religious Freedom Education Project at the Newseum, the British Council and the Interfaith Alliance for a lively and engaging discussion that replaces negative rhetoric with thoughtful discussion. Confirmed speakers include Precious Rasheeda Mohammed, Imam Magid, Mohammed Younis, Kathleen Foley, Julie Macfarlane, Maria Ebrahimji, and Mohamed Elibiary. For more information click here.
