I spent a recent evening at the University of Montana attending a lecture and discussion led by Dalia Mogahed, senior analyst and executive director of the Gallup Center for Muslim Studies and co-author with John L. Esposito of Who Speaks for Islam? What a Billion Muslims Really Think. This book presents the results of the [...]
