TONIGHT
7:30 pm
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum
600 South Gregory Street

Sherman A. Jackson
Arthur F. Thurnau Professor of Near Eastern Studies, The University of Michigan

This lecture will examine what may turn out to be one of the most important, though as yet little-known, developments in contemporary Muslim thought to arise since the emergence of Muslim fundamentalism itself: the ideological evolution of the (in)famous Gama’ah Islamiyah of Egypt, one of the most influential fundamentalist movements in the Arab world, and its move from terrorism to persuasion.
