On June 13, 2009, the Pluralism Project co-sponsored a screening and discussion of *[The Mosque in Morgantown](http://www.themosqueinmorgantown.com/)* at Harvard University. Directed by Boston-based filmmaker Brittany Huckabee, this documentary explores journalist Asra Nomani’s controversial campaign against what she believes are warning signs of Islamic extremism in her local mosque in Morgantown, West Virginia: the exclusion of women, an intolerance towards non-believers, and a growing suspicion of the West.After the screening, Dr. Diana L. Eck moderated a discussion on the film with Brittany Huckabee; Dr. Jocelyne Cesari, director of the Islam in the West Program; and Dr. Leila Ahmed, the Victor S. Thomas Professor of Divinity at Harvard Divinity School. *The Mosque in Morgantown* premiered nationwide on PBS on June 15, 2009. The event was co-sponsored by the Pluralism Project, [Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries](http://www.coopmet.org/), and the [Islam in the West Program](http://cmes.hmdc.harvard.edu/research/iw) at Harvard University.
