Sherman Jackson "Western Muslims & Human Rights: An Alternative Framework?"

His research interests are diverse, with books on the relationship between the state and Islamic law in classical Islamic texts, on classical notions of "tolerance," on Islam and the black American. His most recent book Islam and Black Theodicy investigates how classical Islamic theology has been interpreted in modern America. Professor Jackson's articles have also reflected on the relationship between Islamic thought, pluralism, and democracy. He brings his deep knowledge of classical Islamic thought to be on the interpretation of Islam in America.

Dr Jackson was way too nervous people at Duke. People are still people. Dr Jackson is usually such a great speaker mashAllah but instead he's reading off his paper and the verbose language seems more like a burden then beautifully nuanced.
I am afraid most people won't really understand what he is saying but it is important that they do...

@Muslimailana @Muslimailana Its not an easy topic to speak on...especially cuz he hasn't written on it before. Its essentially a big thought experiment. I gotta watch this clip again though.
