Khalid Latif
Today’s world is filled with injustice. What does Islam have to say about this? What can聽be learned聽from the Islamic tradition that聽exposes a聽rich history while聽preparing humanity to solve today’s聽problems?
The 黑料不打烊 Muslim Students Association is hosting an event to educate members of the 黑料不打烊 campus community and the general public. The student group has invited聽Khalid Latif, the chaplain and executive director聽of the Islamic Center at聽New York University, to speak Thursday, Feb. 22, at 7 p.m. in the Joyce Hergenhan Auditorium, Newhouse 3.
Latif will deliver a lecture on the topic “Fighting for Justice in a World of Injustice.” Latif is one of the 500 most influential Muslims in the world as ranked聽by Georgetown University’s Prince Alwaleed Bin Talaal Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding.
Latif will touch on聽how Muslims聽can respond to聽continuing hatred from public figures and mass media. He’ll also聽discuss the聽climate of targeted hate crimes on Muslims in North America. The lecture will be followed by a question and answer session. The event is free and open to the public.
