Myths of Islam

This seminar is designed as an opportunity to come to an understanding of the various myths and misconceptions that surround Islam. Given the fact that general unawareness in our society about Islam is very common, it is quite understandable that this lack of information can easily lead to a fear of Muslims and mosques. Many Americans in Dayton have never been inside a mosque or met a Muslim. The number of those who have met a Muslim woman and conversed with her is even less. The seminar hopes to open up a dialogue about the common misconceptions about Islam with the hope that the participants will bring their own questions to the table.

Location: Building 13, Room 224, Sinclair Dayton Campus
Date: Thursdays from March 20 - April 24
Time: 2:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m.
