Lesley Hazleton explores the Koran‏

Lesley Hazleton explores the Koran and finds much that
is quite different from what is reported in commonly cited accounts.

A
psychologist by training and Middle East reporter by experience, British-born
Lesley Hazleton has spent the last ten years exploring the vast and often
terrifying arena in which politics and religion, past and present, intersect.
Her most recent book, After the Prophet: the Epic Story of the Shia-Sunni Split,
was a finalist for the 2010 PEN-USA nonfiction award.

She lived and
worked in Jerusalem for thirteen years -- a city where politics and religion are
at their most incendiary -- then moved to New York. She came to Seattle to get
her pilot's license in 1992, saw the perfect houseboat, and stayed. By 1994,
she'd flown away all of her savings, and has never regretted a single cent of
it. Now her raft rides low in the water under the weight of research as she
works on her next book, The First Muslim, a new look at the life of
Muhammad.

TEDxRainier is an independently organized TED event held in
Seattle Washington.
