Beyond Stereotypes: Seeing Muhammad, and each other, whole

This TEDX LECTURE by renowned author and journalist, Lesley Hazleton, questions our lazy assumptions and stereotyping of Islam and Muslims as the fearome “other.” She urges us to think critically about the political agendas that feed on our insecurities.

Leslie Hazleton is a self-confessed “atheistic Jew” who has become an “accidental theist” during her research. She has written about the history of Islam, and her new biography on Prophet Muhammad sws is due to be released in January 2013
