Asia Society: 725 Park Avenue, New York, NY
Join Irshad Manji, author of The Trouble with Islam Today, and Congressman Keith Ellison as they discuss possibilities for reform in Islam and the directions being taken by American Muslims. In her new book, Allah, Liberty And Love,Manji paves a path to reconciling faith and freedom — and she does so by showing us all how to develop “moral courage,” the willingness to speak up when everyone else wants to shut you up. Moderated by The Reverend Dr. Serene Jones, President, Union Theological Seminary, New York City.
Director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University’s Robert F. Wagner School of Public Service, Manji is also creator of the Emmy-nominated PBS documentary, Faith Without Fear. Deepak Chopra calls Irshad Manji, “The new voice of reform, not only for Islam, but for all religions.”
