Imam Zaid appeared on CrossCurrents to discuss the opening of Zaytuna College.

Zaytuna College will be the first Islamic college in the country, based right here in Berkeley. The syllabus will include Islamic studies, and the humanities like history, and philosophy. One of the people making it happen is Imam Zaid Shakir, an African-American convert to Islam, who was born in Berkeley. Today, he’s an internationally reknowned scholar of Islam. Host Hana Baba sat down with Shakir and asked him if he expected any conflict to arise from teaching both western philosophy and Islamic ideas.
