Complete Description:
The Civil Discourse Series sponsored by the St. Thomas More Society seeks to provide a public forum to discuss issues of legal, cultural, and moral concern. The title of the event this spring is "Islamic/American Relations: Getting Along in the 21st Century." The event's main speaker is Imam Ahmad Shqueirat from the Tempe Islamic Community Center located near ASU's campus. Imam Shqueirat was one of the six "Flying Imams" removed from a commercial airplane for praying. He will discuss his views on the current state of Islamic American relations. The program will be moderated by the Honorable Patrick Irvine, a former Judge of the Arizona Court of Appeals. Commentary will be provided by Chris Lowney, a best selling author on the topic of history and comparative religions. One of his best selling books is entitled "A Vanished World: Muslims, Christians & Jews in Medieval Spain." There will also be time given for questions from audience members for our main speakers.
