Constitutional Infringement on Muslim Rights and Effective Counter-Terrorism
3 - 4 pm - Room 170The presentation will focus upon other countries domestic counter-terror strategies, focusing on South Africa as a primary example. Specifically, Professor Barzegar will discuss how actively
engaging and involving with the overall Islamic community in a homogenous manner lead to a substantial reduction in terror-related threats. The presentation will highlight how this type of policy
reduces constitutional infringements on Muslim rights while yielding more effective counter-terrorism results.
The speaker for our event is Professor Abbas Barzegar of the Religious Studies Department in GSU. Please see more information on Mr. Barzegar at: http://www2.gsu.edu/~wwwrel/4663.html
