 This Friday at 5 p.m., PBS is airing the series premiere of Who Speaks for Islam, hosted by Ray Suarez which explores Islam in an age when Muslim extremists are laying claim to the religion. As Suarez interviews an elite panel of researchers, scholars, Hollywood producers, and actors, including me, they debate—and often debunk—preconceived notions about Islamic law, the status of women in predominantly Muslim countries, attitudes about free speech, democracy, male and female modesty, and portrayals of Muslims in Hollywood. The entire episode can be seen here. |
