How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization and the End of the War on Terror- A Community Conversation with Reza Aslan May 7, 2009

---

Internationally acclaimed writer and scholar Reza Aslan returns to Omaha to discuss his newest book How to Win a Cosmic War: God, Globalization, and the End of the War on Terror (available in April 2009), an
in-depth study of the ideology fueling al-Qaida, the Taliban, and
like-minded militants throughout the Muslim world, and an exploration
of religious violence in Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Surveying
the global scene from Israel to Iraq and from New York to the
Netherlands, Aslan argues that religion is a stronger force today than
it has been in a century. At a time when religion and politics are
increasingly sharing the same vocabulary and functioning in the same
sphere, Aslan asserts that we must strip the conflicts of our worldin
particular, the War on Terrorof their religious connotations and
address the earthly grievances that always lie behind the cosmic
impulse. Join us for this engaging evening with Reza Aslan.
