A filmmaker from Bangladesh will show and discuss his film today on that country’s struggle between radical and moderate Muslims.
Naeem Mohaiemen, who currently lives in New York, made the film “Muslim or Heretics,” which documents the conflict between militant groups and Ahmadis, who the militants consider to be non-Muslims. The Ahmadis are a minority religious sect who consider themselves to be Muslims but do not believe that Mohammed was the last prophet.
Mohaiemen is currently working on “Disappeared in America,” a film on the disappearance of Muslim men in New York after the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Center for Asian and Pacific Studies organized the event, which is at 4 p.m. in the Knight Library Browsing Room.
