Reza Aslan on the US in the Middle East, education and the veil - Hay 09 Speaker Interviews

May 2009

Speakers: Reza Aslan

Reza Aslan talks about Islam, controversially stating that the veil is not necessarily the symbol of female oppression that Western opinion has represented it as. He voices his opinions on Obama's treatment of Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan, and highlights the vital importance of raising educational standards in the Middle East for the stabilisation of world relationships in this interview with Lisa Dwan.
