Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think
Dr. John L. Esposito
Author & Professor, Georgetown University
Founding Director, Prince Alwaleed bin Talal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding
January 22 from 11:45am to 1pm
The media has played a major role in shaping perceptions of Islam and the Muslim world, often centering on discussions of religious extremism and global terrorism. But what do the voices of the Muslim people really tell us? Who are extremists? What do Muslim women want? Do Muslims desire democracy? Join us as Dr. John L. Esposito gives us data-driven insight into the real Muslim world as he discusses his acclaimed book Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think, the product of Gallup World Poll’s massive, multiyear research study.
