While following the conversation regarding minarets in Switzerland, I found particularly helpful two opinion pieces by young Muslim Leaders who have been involved with RRC.
Asma Uddin, one of the participants in our retreat for Muslim and Jewish Emerging Leaders this summer, is now an attorney at the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty. She published a piece on the Swiss minaret ban stating: “This sign in particular — a ban on minarets in a county possessing a mere four of them — eloquently testifies to a society ill-equipped to deal with Islam, by virtue of being ill-equipped to deal with faith.” For the entire article, click here.
Another of our retreat participants, Mona Eltahawy, was on NPR discussing the issue. You can listen to the interview here.
