Are Muslims friends or foes to America? How can we tell? Does Islam that unites Muslims divide them as well? How so? What does this mean to the U.S. foreign policy? These questions and others will be addressed by Professor Moataz Herzawi's talk in which he will dissect the phenomenon of Political Islamism from a Middle Eastern perspective. He will respond as well to several of the thorny questions that are haunting the American mind.
