Date: Thursday, April 8, 2010
Time: 7:00pm - 8:30pm
Location: The Great Hall, Cooper Union
Street: 7 East 7th Street
City/Town: New York, NY
DescriptionIs there a fundamental clash of values between secularism and
Islam and between freedom of expression and freedom of religion? In what ways
are Muslims living in the West contributing to their democratic societies? Can
Islam exist as a Western religion? Is it a Western religion already?
The AAUP, ACLU, PEN American Center, and Slate welcome Professor Tariq Ramadan in his first U.S. appearance since he was barred from the country in 2004.
Professor Ramadan will participate in a panel discussion, which will provide
Americans with the first opportunity in five years to hear his ideas relating to
secularism, Islam and democracy.
