Location: The Heritage Foundation's Lehrman Auditorium
The rise of Islamic terrorism worldwide is a phenomenon of our
age. But it is not the first time that violence in the name
of Islam has surged across the world. Drawing on a wide range
of sources, including many Muslim writers, Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo
will examine the facets of Islamic teaching that have motivated
violence. From his in-depth, primarily theological look at
the past and present sources of Islamic terrorism, he will suggest
a number of practical responses which can be adopted to counter the
violence and strategies for winning the long war against terror in
the name of Islam.
Patrick Sookhdeo has doctorates from London University's School
of Oriental and African Studies, Western Seminary and Nashtoah
House Episcopal Seminary. He is Adjunct Professor at the
George C. Marshall European Centre for Security Studies, Senior
Visiting Fellow at the Defence Academy of the United Kingdom,
Visiting Fellow at Cranfield University, UK, and also guest
lecturer at the NATO school, Oberammergau. He is also a
Fellow of the Security Institute of the UK and has served as
cultural adviser for Iraq and Afghanistan.
