Chomsky Event!

Posted in Personal, Current Events at 9:20 am by Abbas

This saturday is the Shia, Sunni Relations and Politics event hosted by Independent Viewpoints. The main guest speaker is Dr. Noam Chomsky. Here is an excerpt from the description of the event found on the website,

The impetus behind this event is clear: the war in Iraq is the hottest and most divisive issue in the world today. But the war and its implications do not only matter to American Muslims, they affect everyone. The tension that exists between Sunnis and Shias in Iraq has reached a breaking point, and now is the time for all of us in the global community—Muslim and non-Muslim—to act. This is why the program will not only be for Muslims, but open to the general public as well.

InshaAllah, I wil be volunteering and I hope it turns out succesful. I am really curious what Chomsky says about Sunni and Shi’a (since he never talks about religion).
