DESCRIPTION:This event will be a discussion about the issues surrounding and 
 significance of the presence of Islam and Muslims in America; not from 
 sensationalist voices of extremism  but from the mouths of eloquent, 
 internationally respected Muslim scholars and intellectuals.  Whether 
 it’s the “war on terror” or civil liberties, Islam and Muslims have 
 become a focal point in many of the most important discussions and debates 
 of America’s current public discourse.  The speakers will be addressing 
 the experiences, challenges, difficulties, ironies, and opportunities that 
 face Muslims and all of America with the increasingly relevant presence of 
 Islam in this country.    \n\nSPEAKERS:\n-Hamza Yusuf Hanson, the founder 
 of the Zaytuna Institute, and arguably America’s most celebrated Muslim 
 scholar and intellectual, will give the conference’s keynote address.  In 
 the aftermath of September 11th, his appearances in the White House, the 
 Vatican, Britain’s House of Lords, and numerous television, newspaper, 
 and radio features have propelled him into the international spotlight as 
 one of the leading and most respected voices of American Muslims.\nOther 
 featured speakers will include:\n- Dr. Umar Faruq Abd-Allah- Nawawi 
 Foundation, Chicago, IL\n- Imam Siraj Wah'haj- Masjid Al-Taqwa, Brooklyn, 
 NY \n- Dr. Ingrid Mattson- Hartford Seminary & Islamic Society of North 
 America\n- Shaykh Yusuf Ziya Kavakci- Islamic Association of North Texas
