Former U.S. ambassador Shirin Tahir-Kheli
Washington, (IINA) - U.S. foreign policy in the Muslim world is a complex and sometimes-controversial subject, but an Islamic former U.S. ambassador hopes to bring the issues into clearer focus next week in Albuquerque, Mexico, Albuquerque Journal reported.
Shirin Tahir-Kheli, a former adviser to the National Security Council and the United Nations, and a current senior fellow at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies, will discuss how U.S. policy toward Muslim-majority countries has evolved over the past 50 years and how the U.S. can manage more productive relations with the 52nation Islamic bloc in the future.
She will give a lecture and answer questions on Sunday, at the University of New Mexico Continuing Education Conference Center in conjunction with the Albuquerque International Association.
Tahir-Kheli will discuss how Sept. 11 and the wars it triggered have altered the U.S.-Muslim dynamic.
“I will focus on a brief history and how 9/11 changed our worldview, particularly toward the world of Islam,” Tahir-Kheli said. “The talk will also examine current problems and prospects. We’ll look at issues such as the rise of Daesh/ISIS, domestic issues within the world of Islam such as the Arab Spring, and competition and rivalries within the Muslim world and the Palestinian-Israeli problems that set the parameters for U.S. policy in the region.”
Tahir-Kheli said she was the first Muslim ambassador confirmed by the U.S. Senate in American history, during the administration of former President George H.W. Bush.
