SUMMARY OF THE EVENT

The book talks about what Islam is and who the prophet is and the daily life of Muslims and very basics of Islam.

You want to learn about Islam and here is this book which is used by schools and this is not an academic book. This book is not out of date. It is still very relevant.
We can talk about that this is the world to come. Violence, man’s and woman’s roles and what is happening in Iran and  Afghanistan. I also talked about Sufism and the mystical traditions in Islam. And in the last two chapters tolerance which is the lowest level of dialogIng  and what one can do from there.
Quran is the book of justice and how God established justice. Then the Q&A started with how we can learn from the scholars of Islam.

Address: 13742 Jamboree Rd, Irvine, CA 92602

Listen to any news broadcast today (In the aftermath of September 11,2001) and the message comes through loud and clear: Islam is a religion of violence and behind every Muslim, there lurks a potential terrorist. Islam is a threat to values of the Christian West. They are like oil and water. Clearly, they don’t mix.

 

Oil & Water: Two Faiths One God confronts these popular perceptions head-on. With keen insight and gentle understanding, it explores the differences between Christianity and Islam, as well as the many things these two enduring faith traditions hold in common – including, first and foremost, their belief in and desire to be faithful to the one, true God; their shared roots and scripture (from the Jewish tradition); and the spiritual values of peace and social justice.
