Muslims or Heretics - Film & Panel Discussion At Asia Society On Thursday (October 20) |
Asia Society invites you to a film and panel discussion:
Muslims or Heretics?
A documentary by Naeem Mohaiemen
2005, 56 Minutes; Bengali with English subtitles
Thursday, October 20, 2005, 6:30 pm
Asia Society, 725 Park Avenue, New York City
This event will address the contentious issues of religion and
politics, and the role of the state in nascent democracies where civil
rights boundaries are being newly established. These freedoms can often
prove fragile when states become embroiled in religious conflict. The
documentary Muslim or Heretics? explores the crisis affecting the
Ahmadiya community-- a Muslim sect that was banned in Pakistan for
following a Prophet after Mohammed, and is currently under attack in
Bangladesh. The film looks at how the Ahmadiya issue is a "trojan
horse" that masks a larger push to erode religious freedoms in South
Asia.
The panelists will explore the conditions that fan extremism,
religious or otherwise, and the challenges to building democracy and an
open society. They will address whether socio-economic, political and
global factors engender extremism, and how state structures may
exacerbate religious divides.
Panelists include:
Naeem Mohaiemen, Filmmaker and Digital-media Activist
Asad Ahmed, Assistant Professor of Anthropology, Harvard University
Shahed Amanulah, Editor of AltMuslim.com (Moderator)
$5 Students w/ ID $7 Members/NGO $10 Nonmembers
