kind of access to new information
that students and professors within
university communities do, and said
the conference is a way to inform
the community about things the
American media has glossed over.
Jane Cramer, a University politi
cal science professor and speaker at
the conference, said the communi
ty needs to understand the cultural
differences between the Western
world and the Middle East.
“There are a lot of people who
would say they see ... the Islamic
world as a common enemy,” she
said. “If we want to get along, we
should understand each other.”
Cramer said the United States
has both strategic and private inter
ests in Iraq’s oil that were com
pelling factors in the government’s
decision to invade Iraq. For in
stance, one example of U.S. strate
gic interest would be undermining
OPEC and Saudi Arabian control of
oil so the United States would have
more control over prices, she said.
Private interests would include
American corporation Halliburton’s
potential contract to drill oil in Iraq
and make a profit.
“How we handle the oil has
everything to do with whether we
are liberating Iraq or stealing oil,”
Cramer said. “If we control oil and
make a profit, it will have been an
imperialist grab.
“We have to figure out ... how to
let Iraqis rule themselves,” she said.
“Otherwise, our forces are going to
face ongoing terrorist attacks in the
region. We have to be viewed as le
gitimate.”
The four-day conference covers
more than just the present con
flicts in the Middle East. Tues
day’s events, for instance, will be
devoted to what organizers call
“unjust laws,” such as the USA
PATRIOT Act.
“Not only our rights are being re
stricted, but also the liberties of
other Americans,” Kesim said.
Several Muslims will talk about
their experiences within the United
States after Sept. 11, 2001, “during
the war on terror — which is never
going to end,” according to Kesim.
There will be a reception Thursday,
where students and community
members can ask questions and in
teract with the speakers on a more
personal level.
“With all the conflicts in the
Middle East... we. saw the need to
plant something where we can say
what we think,” Zubair said. “The
American media does not repre
sent us — the Arab and Muslim
world. Americans will see what
shock and awe meant for the rest
of the world. This is not something
to be proud of.”
Kesim believes once the commu
nity learns the truth about the war,
they will become conscientious
voters and urge the government for
a change.
“It’s the lack of information that
encourages ignorance,” he said.
