Khalid Latif: Under Wraps--Domestic Violence in the Muslim World Date: Wednesday, September 23rd 2009 Time: 7:30 PM Location: Terrace Room, Claudia Cohen Hall Program Description Spousal abuse is a common theme in the stereotype of the Muslim Man, and in certain parts of the Muslim world, widespread domestic violence lends credence to this unflattering view of Islam. Is domestic violence cultural? Is it Islamic? What does the Qur’an say about spousal abuse? Khalid Latif will explain the cultural and historical origins of the relationship between Islam and domestic abuse, as well as offer insight as to how the Muslim community worldwide is working to eliminate this problem.
