Presenter: Jawad Ali
I am one of the founders of Muslim WakeUp. I started this online magazine almost two years ago to provide a voice for an emerging progressive trend among Muslims worldwide, but particularly in North America. Some of the most popular features have names like “Hug a Jew” and “Sex and the Ummah”. Ummah is the global Islamic community.
In my presentation I will talk about the following:
• Social and political landscape of the Islamic world
• Progressive Islamic trends through the ages
• What makes someone progressive
• Issues of interest to Progressive Muslims in America
• Some emerging trends
