Summary: Daisy Khan, is executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement, a non-profit organization dedicated to developing an American Muslim identity and to building bridges between the Muslim community and general public through dialogues in faith, identity, culture, and the arts. She joins Rev. Joan Brown Campbell, director of Chautauqua’s Department of Religion to discuss the challenges of Muslim women’s advancement and how it connects to the distorted interpretations of all religions. Primary to this conversation is her comments regarding the Cordoba House, a proposed Muslim Center near the site of 9-11. Khan highlights the most powerful strategy to articulate the peaceful voices and make their messages louder than the ones of suspicion and distrust and how to prevail over the extremists we fear so much in this country.
