The Politics of Islam in America: New America Foundation, New York - June 21 2012

JUNE 21, 2012 6:30 – 8:15PM 199 LAFAYETTE STREET, THIRD FLOOR JUST PAST SPRING AT KENMARE—AND UPSTAIRS FROM LA ESQUINA!  Young, well-educated, and ethnically diverse, many American Muslims have achieved the American Dream. But in the post-9/11 world, Muslims face a complex political reality: extremists aim to obscure that diversity in a cloud of fundamentalism, while fear of law enforcement surveillance and rising Islamophobia from mainstream political actors has more and more Muslims uncertain about their place in the American political landscape.  In this election year, we'll explore how Islam has become a political football, what Muslims themselves are doing about it, and how major political parties should engage this segment of the electorate. Speakers will focus on New York's 800,000 strong Muslim community, how American Muslims' views of President Obama have evolved, and whether the right could be a more natural home for American Muslims than the left.  GUARANTEE YOUR PLACE, RSVP NOW FEATURING ZEBA KHAN Founder, American Muslims for Obama (2008)  LINDA SARSOUR  National Advocacy Director, National Network for Arab American Communities  JENNIFER BRYSON  Director, Islam and Civil Society Project The Witherspoon Institute HAROON MOGHUL Research Fellow, National Security Studies Program, New America Foundation Associate Editor, Religion Dispatches
