WASHINGTON, D.C.—What does it mean to be a Muslim in post-9/11 America?

In 2008 Muslim scholar and former Pakistani ambassador Akbar Amed, along with a team of student researchers from American University, canvassed more than 70 U.S. cities and 100 mosques interviewing thousands of Muslims and non-Muslims alike.

Journey into America: The Challenge of Islam, a film documenting the group’s main finding—U.S. Muslim and American identities are inseparable despite their complexity—is the result of their efforts. A book of the same name will be published by Brookings Press this year.

The film will be shown Sunday, October 25, at 5:30 pm in Perry Auditorium located on the 7th floor of Washington National Cathedral. Tickets are $10. and are available online, www.nationalcathedral.org/learn/lectures.shtml, or by calling (202) 537-2228.

Note: Members of the press are welcome to attend and should contact Beth Mullen if interested.
