Zoot introduced speakers Hafez Hafez and Alaa Milbes who presented a program on Muslims their culture and religion. They included representatives from Council on American Islamic Relations (CARE). The Muckenthaler will be showcasing the culture in an exhibit next year featuring the art and culture of the Middle East.
The program highlighted the basic premises of the Islam religion and its parallels to Christianity and Judaism. The program presented facts and myths about Islam and its roots in America. Currently Muslims are less than 1% of the American population. The presenters noted that many people fear Islam and Muslims because they associated them with violence and ISIS. The fear is irrational a not based on facts. A small fraction (.0001%) of Muslims are extremists and violent terrorists. Many local Muslims are leading the fight against extremism.
