The Struggle for Iraqi Civil Society
Transcript of Lecture by Zainab Al-Suwaij
Posted: Wednesday, February 11, 2004
"It was really different to be back again... trying to help this society and this country emerge from what they’ve been through in the past 35 years to a new Iraq and their lives. You see now people are talking freely, acting freely, traveling freely, debating, experimenting, and practicing, you know, their life just as normal people... At night when they go to sleep, they feel that since the previous regime no longer exists and Saddam is no longer there, at least they feel safe inside."  [Read More]

The Latest Books from EPPC Scholars

Faith, Reason and the War Against JihadismEPPC Distinguished Senior Fellow George Weigel's new book is essential reading in a time of momentous political decisions. Drawing on a quarter century of experience at the intersection of moral argument and public policy, he describes rigorously and clearly the threat posed by global jihadism and points a new direction for both public policy and interreligious dialogue, one that meets the challenge of jihadism forthrightly while creating the conditions for a less threatening, more mutually enriching encounter between Islam and the West.

EPPC Resident Scholar James Bowman recounts the history of honor, noting that it is inseparable from the history of mankind. While honor has been disregarded or actively despised for three quarters of a century in the West, it is still essential to an understanding of the Islamic cultures of the Middle East and the sense of grievance they often foster against the West, and especially the United States.

EPPC Fellow Christine Rosen writes a warm and affectionate memoir of her days as a school girl in a fundamentalist Christian school in St. Petersburg, Florida where "the Bible was our textbook," God the guide, and after entering the school gates, nothing was ever quite the same again.
