Should Americans Fear Islam? A Town Hall Meeting
Description
Islam has millions of adherents in the United States. Yet, for many non-Muslim Americans, the religion remains shrouded in mystery-and even fear. Modeled on town hall discussions, this ABC News program features a panel of experts and activists who sift through the challenges surrounding Islam in post-9/11 America. Moderator Christiane Amanpour speaks with Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement and a leading organizer behind the planned New York City mosque and Islamic community center; Azar Nafisi, author of Reading Lolita in Tehran; Robert Spencer of Jihad Watch; Peter Gadiel of the 9/11 Families for a Secure America Foundation; Donna Marsh O'Connor of the September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows; Reza Aslan, author of No God But God and Beyond Fundamentalism; and Ayaan Hirsi Ali, author of Nomad.
