"Combating Islamophobia: Truths and Myths about Islam" Lecture
The lecture,"Combating Islamophobia: Truths and Myths about Islam" will be presented from 5:30 - 8 p.m., on Thursday, May 17 in the Shelby Center for Science and Technology, room 107. The U.S. is a pluralistic nation built on the principle of religious tolerance and inclusion. Yet, Muslims and their faith in American society are at the forefront of public attention. Islamophobia, fueled by fear and misperceptions have led to attacks on places of worship, holy texts and law abiding citizens. According to a Gallup Poll, the majority of Americans have very little knowledge of Islam, the faith followed by over 1.5 billion people around the world. The U.S. Attorney's Office, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and Huntsville Islamic Center invites community members from all religious faiths and backgrounds to join us for an evening to learn about Islam and promote civic engagement and interfaith dialogue. Refreshments and appetizers will be served. The event is co-sponsored by the UAHuntsville Office of International Programs and Services. For more information, call ( 256) 824-6055.
