The Center
for Asian Studies at the University of Colorado is organizing an interesting
event this afternoon on the Boulder campus entitled: Halal Muslim Love
Online: Finding a good Muslim Man in Colorado.
This is a presentation by Asma Hasan, a Pakistani-American award-winning author
of Red, White, and Muslim: My Story of Belief and American Muslims: The
New Generation.
Here's more from the flyer:
Wednesday, February 2 at 4:00p.m.
Old Main Chapel, followed by a reception in the CU Heritage Center
Asma
Gull Hasan grew up in Pueblo, Colorado, where her Pakistani-American family was
the only Muslim household in town. Her current book Red, White, and
Muslim: My Story of Belief (Harper 2009) vividly recounts her experiences
as a Muslim interacting with middle American society in Colorado, seeking to
explain her religious and ethnic traditions to Muslim and non-Muslims alike.
In this talk, Asma will extend the story to include her search for a
Muslim husband using online matrimonial websites and other cyber resources.
Her spiritual views and life experiences as an American Muslim are
expected to encourage a productive dialogue with the audience.
This
event is free and open to the public.
Hope to see some of you there.
