Program Description

Islam vs. Islamists: Voices from the Muslim Center traces the experience of several prominent Muslims who are speaking out against Islamic fundamentalism. In North America, Canada, and Western Europe, these moderate Muslims have encountered powerful opposition from other members of their faith as they express their views about what it means to be a modern Muslim living in the West. OPB has also made available a 30-minute companion talk show in which award-winning correspondent, author, and NPR host John Hockenberry talks with a distinguished panel of guests to explore what it means to be a Muslim in the world today. Photos and show graphic available upon request.
