For folks in the Baltimore area, or who can get there without too much difficulty, there is an interesting event scheduled by the Harbour League next Tuesday, October 7.

My good friend (and NRO contributing editor) Frank Gaffney, president of the Center for Security Policy, will be debating Suhail Kahn, a Transportation Department official who is on the board of the American Conservative Union and the Islamic Free Market Institute. The topic is the Islamic legal code known as shariah, and specifically whether it can be squared with U.S. law and culture. Details are here. Should be an excellent program.
