[Discussion] Islam and the West

[Gonul]

CONF.- Islam and the West, Monash University, Australia, August 15-16

Conference on "Islam and the West: The impact of September 11"
15 - 16 August 2003

Relations between Islam and the West have come under severe strain since
the
September 11 attack on the United States. The recent US-led military
operation in Iraq has made matters even more complicated as forces of
moderation in the Muslim world feel increasingly marginalized. The
international and domestic implications of these events are
far-reaching.

Keynote speaker:

Professor Hassan Hanafi, Cairo University

Conference will be opened by the Hon Alexander Downer MP, Minister for
Foreign Affairs

Professor Osman Bakar (Georgetown University)
