The Speakers Committee of USC Program Board presents:
REZA ASLAN
The Future of Islam
Tuesday, November 7
7:00-8:00pm
Taper Hall of Humanities 101
REZA ASLAN, the author of the highly acclaimed "No god but God: the Origins, Evolution, and Future of Islam" and one of the nation's most respected and dynamic experts on Islam in the Middle East, will be coming to USC to discuss the intricate interplay between faith and politics in the Muslim world.
Mr. Aslan, who has written for the New York Times and Slate and has recently appeared on "The Daily Show" and "Real Time with Bill Maher", among others, presents Islam as an ever-evolving faith and culture currently in the midst of a cataclysmic internal battle for reform and modernization. The first young Muslim intellectual to come on the scene in years, Mr. Aslan brings a new, passionate, and much-needed perspective to the national discussion regarding Islam.
