"Islam & Democracy" Seminars This Week
By Andrew Cochran
Two seminars this week on the topic of Islam and democracy caught my attention. The first, titled "Islam and Democracy: Promoting Dialogue and Political Participation among Muslims in Western Societies," will be held at 2200 Rayburn House Building on Capitol Hill on Wednesday at 4 pm. Participants include Rep. Keith Ellison, the first Muslim Congressman; the Hon. Naser Khader, Muslim Member of the Danish Parliament; and the Hon. Karen Hughes, Undersecretary of State for Public Diplomacy and Public Affairs (invited). The second, titled "Islam in Democratic Societies," will be at the Fletcher School at Tufts University in Boston this Friday. Lorenzo Vidino is the conference coordinator, and Zeyno Baran is one of the distinguished speakers with others including Zuhdi Jasser, Mateen Siddiqui, Naser Khader (again), and Irshad Manjii.
