Globalization, Islam and heavy metal in the Middle East are all on the table as authors Reza Aslan (”No God but God”) and Mark LeVine (”Heavy Metal Islam”) deconstruct East vs. West myths. In a truly eclectic night of post 9/11 reflections, follow up the intellectual discourse with the Arab grooves of MC Rai and the up-and-coming Iranian heavy metal band Tarantist. No “clash of the civilizations” discourse would be complete without some headbanging at the King King Club with Middle East scholars.
