The Future of Iraq:
A Muslim American Perspective
When the American media covers the U.S. war in Iraq, it’s always from the American government’s perspective. We heard from a community whose views are often ignored, yet which plays a unique and important role in the discussion on the Middle East and in U.S. society.
As senior advisor to the Muslim Public Affairs Council, and spokesman for the Los Angeles Islamic Center, Dr. Hathout has played a visible and leading role in defining an independent role for Muslim and Arab Americans in interpreting the complex events in the Middle East based on the values of democracy, self-determination, peace, justice and human rights. He is an Egyptian-born cardiologist whose articles and interviews have appeared in the LA Times, New York Times, Wall St. Journal, PBS and other news agencies.
This event took place May 22nd, 2004.
