&lt;p&gt;Muslim-Canadian author and commentator Irshad Manji explains clerical authority in Islam, and how the religion's lack of a unified organizational system could open the door to reform.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Irshad Manji and Dalia Mogahed discuss issues surrounding contemporary Islam at the 2008 Aspen Ideas Festival, including the nature of the religion in relation to peace and conflict and the interpretation of the Koran.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Irshad Manji is director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University, which aims to develop leaders who will challenge political correctness, intellectual conformity, and self-censorship. She is also the internationally best-selling author of The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim's Call for Reform in Her Faith. She created the acclaimed PBS documentary "Faith Without Fear" which chronicles her journey to reconcile Islam with human rights and freedom.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She also founded Project Ijtihad, which won the Youth Global Leader award from the World Economic Forum for its global campaign to popularize Islam&#8217;s own tradition of critical thinking. Irshad&#8217;s columns appear frequently in the New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and Times of London.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jeffrey Goldberg is the staff writer and Middle East correspondent for the New Yorker Goldberg, based in Washington, D.C.. He joined the staff of the New Yorker in 2000.Previously, he was a writer for the New York Times Magazine, covering the Middle East and Africa.

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/15/Is_Islam_Compatible_With_Democracy"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Middle East Forum Director Daniel Pipes criticizes the role of Sharia Law in many radical Islamic movements, identifying this concept as one of the greatest obstacles to democratic reforms in Muslim societies.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In Islam, Allah is the ultimate authority. In democracy, authority ultimately lies with the people. But does this mean that Islam is incompatible with democracy?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;After all, it was Islamic scholarship that introduced ancient Greek conceptions of democracy to the feudal states of Europe.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Despite this, it has been suggested that the differences between Islam (especially when given political form) and the liberal democracies of the West are so great as to represent a 'clash of civilisations'.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;But is this so? Is an approach in which society is ordered according the will of God compatible with one in which the will of the people reigns supreme? - Intelligence Squared Australia&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Daniel Pipes is director of the Middle East Forum and a prize-winning columnist who writes for the New York Times Syndicate. His website, DanielPipes.org, is one of the most accessed internet sources of specialized information on the Middle East and Islam. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Pipes received his AB (1971) and PhD (1978) in History from Harvard University and spent six years studying abroad, including three years in Egypt. Mr Pipes speaks French and reads Arabic and German. He has taught at the University of Chicago, Harvard University, the US Naval War College, and Pepperdine University. Pipes also served in various capacities in the US Government, including two presidentially-appointed positions: vice chairman of the Fulbright Board of Foreign Scholarships and member of the board of the US Institute of Peace. He was director of the Foreign Policy Research Institute in 1986-93.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;PART ONE of THREE&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;* Please click "watch in high quality" under the video.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today Sam talks with TV and Film Director and Producer, Murad Aldin Amayreh.   Many of Murad's films focus on the subject of Islam and being Muslim, so we decided to have an in depth conversation to better understand what it is to be Muslim in America.    We hope that you will take some time to view some of his work on his YouTube channel at:
&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/muradaldin&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I AM A MUSLIM!
&lt;br /&gt;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQXh20OuhIc&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A Muslim (Arabic: &#1605;&#1587;&#1604;&#1605;&#8206;) is an adherent of the religion of Islam. The feminine form of 'Muslim' is Muslimah (Arabic: &#1605;&#1587;&#1604;&#1605;&#1577;&#8206;). Literally, the word means "one who submits to God". The word "Muslim" is the participle of the same verb of which "Islam" is the infinitive. Muslims believe that there is only one God, translated in Arabic as Allah. Muslims believe that Islam existed long before Muhammad and that the religion had evolved with time from the time of Adam till the time of Muhammad, and was completed with the revelation of verse 3 of Surah Al-Maeda"&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;"This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion."&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Qur'an describes many Biblical prophets and messengers as Muslim: Adam, Noah (Arabic: Nuh), Moses (Arabic: Musa) and Jesus (Arabic: Isa) and his apostles. The Qur'an states that these men were Muslims because they submitted to God, preached his message and upheld his values. Thus, in Surah 3:52 of the Qur'an, Jesus' disciples tell Jesus: "do thou bear witness that we are Muslims". Muslims pray five times a day; these five prayers are known as Fajr, Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha. There is also a special Friday prayer called Jumu'ah.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Most Muslims accept as a Muslim anyone who has publicly pronounced the Shahadah, which states, "There is none worthy of worship except God, and Muhammad is His Messenger." Currently, there are an estimated 1.4 billion Muslims, making it the second largest religion in the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Islam (Arabic: &#1575;&#1604;&#1573;&#1587;&#1604;&#1575;&#1605;; al-'isl&#257;m (help&#183;info)) is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion originating with the teachings of the Islamic prophet Muhammad, a seventh century Arab religious and political figure. The word Islam means "submission", or the total surrender of oneself to God (Arabic: &#1575;&#1604;&#1604;&#1607;, All&#257;h). An adherent of Islam is known as a Muslim, meaning "one who submits [to God]". There are between 1 billion to 1.8 billion Muslims, making Islam the second-largest religion in the world, after Christianity.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Muslims believe that God revealed the Qur'an to Muhammad, God's final prophet, and regard the Qur'an and the Sunnah (words and deeds of Muhammad) as the fundamental sources of Islam. They do not regard Muhammad as the founder of a new religion, but as the restorer of the original monotheistic faith of Abraham, Moses, Jesus, and other prophets. Islamic tradition holds that Jews and Christians distorted the revelations God gave to these prophets by either altering the text, introducing a false interpretation, or both.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Islam includes many religious practices. Adherents are generally required to observe the Five Pillars of Islam, which are five duties that unite Muslims into a community. In addition to the Five Pillars, Islamic law (sharia) has developed a tradition of rulings that touch on virtually all aspects of life and society. This tradition encompasses everything from practical matters like dietary laws and banking to warfare and welfare.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Almost all Muslims belong to one of two major denominations, the Sunni (85%) and Shi'a (15%). The schism developed in the late 7th century following disagreements over the religious and political leadership of the Muslim community. Islam is the predominant religion throughout the Middle East, as well as in major parts of Africa and Asia. Large communities are also found in China, the Balkan Peninsula in Eastern Europe and Russia. There are also large Muslim immigrant communities in other parts of the world, such as Western Europe. About 20% of Muslims live in Arab countries, 30% in the Indian subcontinent and 15.6% in Indonesia, the largest Muslim country by population.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Complete video at: &lt;a href="http://fora.tv/2008/04/17/Prince_Zeid_on_Peace_in_the_Middle_East"&gt;fora.tv&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jordanian Ambassador to the United States Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein discusses progress on women's rights in Jordan and the rest of the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Jordanian Ambassador to the United States Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein speaks at The Commonwealth Club of California about the current state of affairs in Middle Eastern countries including Jordan, Israel, Iraq and Iran.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prince Zeid Ra'ad Zeid Al-Hussein is Jordan's Ambassador to the United States and non-resident Ambassador to Mexico. He was previously the kingdom&#8217;s Permanent Representative to the United Nations; a post he held six and a half years (2000-2007). From 1996-2000, he was Jordan's Deputy Permanent Representative at the UN, with the rank of Ambassador.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;An expert in the field of international justice, Prince Zeid played a central role in the establishment of the International Criminal Court. In September 2002, Prince Zeid was elected the first president of the governing body of the International Criminal Court, at a time when the Court was only a plan on paper. Prince Zeid also served as a political affairs officer in UNPROFOR in the former Yugoslavia from February 1994 to February 1996, and, having worked intimately with peacekeeping issues for over the last decade, his knowledge of peacekeeping is extensive.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Prince Zeid holds a B.A. from The Johns Hopkins University and a Ph.D. from Cambridge (Christ's College). In 1989, he also received his commission as an officer in the Jordanian desert police (the successor to the Arab Legion) and saw service with them until 1994.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Author and diplomat Douglas Johnston describes a campaign to reform Pakistani madrassas using religion-based diplomacy.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;-----&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Douglas Johnston discusses Faith-based Diplomacy: Bridging the Religious Divide.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Douglas M. Johnston is President and Founder of the International Center for Religion and Diplomacy (ICRD). He led the 7-year study that produced the book, Religion, the Missing Dimension of Statecraft, published in 1994 by Oxford University Press and now in its 13th printing and second foreign translation. ICRD aims to address identity-based conflicts that exceed the grasp of traditional diplomacy by incorporating religion as part of the solution. He is a distinguished graduate of the US Naval Academy and holds a Ph.D. in Political Science from Harvard University. He has served in senior positions in government, business, academia, and the military. He served as deputy assistant secretary of the navy (manpower); director of policy planning and management in the Office of the Secretary of Defense. He also served as Executive Vice President and COO of CSIS. His latest book is Faith-Based Diplomacy: Trumping Realpolitik (2003).&lt;/p&gt;
