Samer Traboulsi, UNC Asheville assistant professor of history and specialist on the Middle East and Islam, will continue UNC Asheville's philosophy lecture series with a talk on "What is Jihad?" at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 11, at UNC Asheville's Kellogg Center, 11 Broyles Road, Hendersonville. His talk will be based on the quote, "And fight in the way of God those who fight you, but transgress not the limits. Truly, God likes not the transgressors." An open discussion will follow Traboulsi's talk. The event is open to the public and a $5 donation will be suggested at the door.

The program is part of a year-long, nine-part series co-sponsored by UNC Asheville’s Philosophy Department and the Institute for Applied Philosophy. The series, "Great Quotes," is designed to foster discussion of philosophically significant issues surrounding well-known quotations.
