DESCRIPTION:On June 13, 2009, the Pluralism Project co-sponsored a screening and discussion of <em><a href="http://www.themosqueinmorgantown.com/">The Mosque in Morgantown</a></em> 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. <em>The Mosque in Morgantown</em> premiered nationwide on PBS on June 15, 2009. The event was co-sponsored by the Pluralism Project, <a href="http://www.coopmet.org/">Cooperative Metropolitan Ministries</a>, and the <a href="http://cmes.hmdc.harvard.edu/research/iw">Islam in the West Program</a> at Harvard University.<h3></h3>
