DESCRIPTION:Join writer and scholar Reza Aslan as he discusses his new book "How to Win 
 a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, & the End of the War on Terror."  It is 
 both an in-depth study of the ideology fueling al-Qa'ida, the Taliban, and 
 like-minded militants throughout the Muslim world, and an exploration of 
 religious violence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. At a time when 
 religion and politics are increasingly sharing the same vocabulary and 
 functioning in the same sphere, Aslan writes that we must strip the 
 conflicts of our world-in particular, the War on Terror-of their religious 
 connotations and address the earthly grievances that always lie behind the 
 cosmic impulse. \n\nReza Aslan, an internationally acclaimed writer and 
 scholar of religions, is a columnist at the Daily Beast 
 (thedailybeast.com). Aslan has degrees in Religions from Santa Clara 
 University, Harvard, and UC Santa Barbara. He is a member of the Council on 
 Foreign Relations, the Los Angeles Institute for the Humanities, and the 
 Pacific Council on International Policy. Aslan's first book is the New York 
 Times Bestseller, "No god but God: The Origins, Evolution, and Future of 
 Islam," which has been translated into thirteen languages, short-listed for 
 the Guardian First Book Award in the UK, and nominated for a PEN USA award 
 for research Non-Fiction. His most recent book, "How To Win a Cosmic War: 
 God, Globalization, and the End of the War On Terror" was published by 
 Random House in April of 2009.\n
