[Naeem Sheikh]

Dear Subscribers to CIMIC Event List,

Good morning. This is a reminder email about the Lawrence Rosen 
lecture today on campus and the seminar tomorrow evening at mosque.


CAS/MillerCom Lecture Series on Campus
Thursday 24th of April

Title: Protecting the Prophet: Understanding Muslim reactions to the danish 
Cartoon Controversy

Speaker: Lawrence Rosen, William Nelson Cromwell Professor of Anthropology, 
Princeton University

Time and Location:

4:00 pm
Third Floor, Levis Faculty Center
919 West Illinois Street, Urbana
UniversiTy of Illinois


In 2005-06 cartoons depicting the Prophet
Muhammad led to protests by Muslims worldwide.
The controversy became local when the Daily Illini
published several of the cartoons. Professor Rosen
will discuss why Muslims feel so intensely that they
must protect the Prophet, and why the Prophet,
seen not just as a messenger, war leader, and
arbiter, but also in a master-disciple relationship
proves the rule of necessary deference by being the
most exceptional social tie of all.
