How Did We Get Here? (Islam in Europe, Part I) – LIVE from the NYPL Shorts
ISLAM IN EUROPE—Insult: Fractured States? is a three-evening symposium on June 9, 10, and 11 that gathers prominent, cross-sector speakers from diverse disciplines and the Muslim diaspora to share country-specific perspectives on Muslim communities integration in European society. This opening panel, introduced by Mustapha Tlili (Founder of the Center for Dialogues at New York University), sets the historical framework for the entire symposium and explores how Europes socio-economic and political history led to contemporary, post-colonial immigration and integration issues.
Special guest panelists include Benjamin Barber (author of Jihad vs. McWorld), poet and writer Tahar Ben Jelloun, Imam Abduljalil Sajid (Chairman of the Muslim Council for Religious and Racial Harmony U.K.), and host David Brancaccio, Host of PBS newsmagazine NOW.
