Post Letter: Islamic law should not be generalized
Apr. 18, 2010The visit of Ms. Ayaan Hirsi Ali to Ohio University to deliver the keynote speech at the Baker Peace Conference on April 8 generated a lot of discussion among students, staff and community members. Last Friday, the Center for International Studies, in collaboration with the African Studies Program, hosted a discussion forum in response to Ms. Hirsi's keynote address. The forum presenters, as well as many of the audience members who participated in the discussion, reacted negatively to Ms. Hirsi's talk and questioned the wisdom behind her invitation to speak about war and confrontation at a peace conference. I think what still needs to be explored further in this debate is to address Ms. Hirsi's claims that Islamic Shari'a laws are discriminating against women. This should be the responsibility of the Muslim community members and the Islamic scholars at Ohio University.

High schooler 'kicks ass' in super action-comedy
