Ending Saudi Extremism

OUR LAST FORUM FOR 2018, DONT MISS IT! Terence Ward, an American who grew up in and spent over thirty years living in Iran, SAUDI ARABIA AND OTHER COUNTRIES OF THE MIDDLE EAST, argues that it is SAUDI ARABIA—not Iran—which is funding global terrorism. Meanwhile, the United States remains SAUDI ARABIA'S STAUNCH ALLY. With international condemnation of SAUDI ARABIA FOR THE MURDER OF JOURNALIST JAMAL KHASHOGGI GALVANIZING WORLD NEWS, and the UN call for an end to the war in Yemen that has caused this century’s worst humanitarian disaster, this forum will attempt to answer myriad questions about the future of moderate Islam in the face of the EXTREMISM REPRESENTED BY WAHHABISM. WHAT: "ENDING SAUDI EXTREMISM"—our last event of 2018! WHERE: Harmony Gold Theatre, 7655 W. Sunset Blvd, corner of Stanley, LA 90046 (free parking) WHEN: Thursday, Dec. 20th, 7:30 pm RESERVE: The price of the ticket includes the book!
