Noted religious studies scholar Ira Chernus delves into the different stories that people, media, and government are creating to help explain the events of September 11th. Presented on 18 October 2001, Chernus addresses the question of how such violent acts can be done in the name of religion. His talk warns the audience about a new Cold War arising through the fight against terrorism and how that will perpetuate and exacerbate the national state of insecurity.
Ira Chernus is professor of Religious Studies and co-director of the Peace and Conflict Studies Program at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
