Featured Speakers: Judea Pearl and Professor Akbar S. Ahmed
Topic: The Daniel Pearl Dialogue for Muslim-Jewish Understanding
Daniel Pearl’s father Professor Judea Pearl, President of the Daniel Pearl Foundation and co-editor of I am Jewish (2004) and Professor Akbar S. Ahmed, Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies at American University, author of Islam Under Siege (2003) and from Pakistan, speak on the divisions between Muslims and the West and between Jews and Muslims. They discuss issues ranging from foreign policy and global perceptions to truth, lies and deepest fears.
The two now travel the country to speak at "Daniel Pearl Dialogues for Muslim-Jewish Understanding Featuring Akbar Ahmed and Judea Pearl," linking their life stories to a larger call for reconciliation and providing a rare forum for moderate Muslims in the U.S. to gather. Dialogue is central to all the work of the Daniel Pearl Foundation, which sponsors fellowships for journalists and an Internet news service for high school journalists, advocates press freedom, and organizes world music days to bring people together. One small example of progress: Ahmed will speak at the U.S. Holocaust Museum in Washington, the first Muslim to be invited. Mariane Pearl and Ruth Pearl are also available.
