Reading of Domestic Crusaders

As many of you will recall, Duke MSA recently hosted Wajahat Ali as a guest during Islamic Awareness Week. Wajahat is the author of ¿The Domestic Crusaders¿:¿The Domestic Crusaders focuses on a day in the life of a modern Muslim Pakistani-American family of six eclectic, unique members, who convene at the family house to celebrate the twenty-first birthday of the youngest child.With a background of 9-11 and the scapegoating of Muslim Americans, the tensions and sparks fly among the three generations, culminating in an intense family battle as each "crusader" struggles to assert and impose their respective voices and opinions, while still attempting to maintain and understand that unifying thread that makes them part of the same family.¿MSA will be reading the play on Friday, April 20th for our final Friday meeting of the year.
