Well, it looks like we didn’t get enough people for a an official Progressive Muslims Meet-up. However, the organizer of the Islam in America Conference has confirmed we will have space if we want it. Details will be announced at lunch. If you haven’t already registered for the conference, please do so. If you can, drop me a line, as detailed below, that you will be coming, and any ideas for an agenda.

Bernard Lewis answers 7 Questions
