Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
In the war on terrorism, it is important to consider the impact
of the words we use in creating and sustaining U.S. policies. What
does the use of religious terms to describe terrorists convey to
the hearts and minds the U.S. is trying to win over in the Middle
East? What can be done to enlist the Muslim community in defending
the lexicon of their faith from those who would twist and abuse it
for their own political objectives? Join us as our distinguished
guests examine whether the words we use in our security policies
are the best ones as well as how to work with the Muslim community
to take back their religious terms from the terrorists.
