Nov 9 2004 - 12:00pm - 6:00pm
Although frequently overlooked by policymakers, the civilizations of Christianity and Islam are in some ways mirrors of each other, explains Columbia University professor of Middle East history Richard Bulliet. Drawing from his recent book "The Case for Islamo-Christian Civilization," Bulliet will analyze the historical bridges between Islamic and Christian civilizations. Countering the tired cliches of a “clash of civilizations” and "what went wrong" Bulliet will propose new approaches to understanding and engaging the Muslim world.
