To many Westerners, Islam’s roles, rights, and rituals are often unfamiliar and mysterious, thus creating a chasm – described by some as a “clash” – of civilizations. What are the precepts and principles of Islam and do they sometimes appear incongruous with Western societies? How are women viewed under sharia law?
Join us as Dr. Shibley Telhami and Dr. Firoozeh Kashani-Sabet discuss why understanding Muslim societies might also save the world from divisiveness and even destruction.
Series description:
It all began with an angry young man in Tunisia. Following Mohamed Bouazizi’s self-immolation, a revolt ensued and the period in history known as the “Arab Spring” was born. Inspired by this single act of desperation, the people of the Middle East and North Africa hoped to address the battles of the disenfranchised and marginalized, with the expectation that the populations sharing the bonds of ethnicity and religion would be unified. Although technology and social media created a conduit for the Arab Spring’s positive message, it also enabled terrorists and jihadi organizations, such as ISIS, to materialize and strengthen. Dreams of democracy throughout the Muslim world faded with each news report of another kidnapping, another assassination, another town forcibly placed under the fundamentalist interpretation of Sharia law.
Join us as our expert speakers consider the consequences of the Arab Spring.

Basil & Adrian shared Handspring’s eleven principles of puppetry. After hearing about the first principle, the Devotional State required to maintain the physically demanding positions of manipulating puppets, a teacher in the workshop responded, “That will go over well with high school students!”

I had the honour to shoot Aleks, Tina and Hanna while doing some areal acro on a beautiful sandy beach in Thailand's little paradise called Koh Phangan.
The four girls by the ocean show unity because they round out the focus of the shot by having a sense of repetition. The tomatoes are my example of repetition, the yellow and red little blobs blend together and are echoed through the piece. The peppers show harmony, the complimentary colors are very harmonious. My friend Amy's head and a painting at the MOMA shows variety, in the textures and colors. The thistle plant is an example of contrast, the color scales shows a large contrast. The back round is blurred cool colors and the front is contrasted with the flash and harsh sharp lines. Proximity is represented by the picture of the MOMA, even though I did not personally place these objects they have a great balance that rounds out the picture. The security guard and the empty room set the tone of this picture to feel lonely. The picture of the water and the fern is to show functionality, it motivates me to be more zen and to remember the nature beauty this little world has.
