Islam: Perceptions, Misconceptions and Context for the 21st Century

A free presentation on Islam 101: Perceptions, Misconceptions and Context for the 21st Century will be held on Thursday, January 15, 2015 from 7-8:30pm in the large meeting room of the Shoreline Library, 345 NE 175th, Shoreline.

What does it mean to be Muslim in a modern world?

What if much of what we believe about Islam is incomplete or simply wrong?

For more than 1.3 billion people across the world and many people in Washington state, Islam is not only their religion but also a way of life.

Led by scholar David Fenner, this presentation focuses on Islam and the many aspects that form the substance of a rich culture, traditions, and a way of life. Fenner provides an accurate view of Islam, and creates an open atmosphere and encourages free dialogue to promote greater understanding of Islam, its history and its place in the modern world.
