On a daily basis, we read and hear conflicting information about Muslims and Islam in the media.  Muslim culture often isn’t very well understood and there are many misconceptions about it.

To help sort out fact from fiction, please join the Chung Tai Zen Center of Sunnyvale on Sunday, January 31, 2016 for a unique opportunity to increase our understanding about the Islamic faith, tradition, and practice, past and present and Muslim culture.

Ismael Nass and Aisha Morgan from the Islamic Speakers Bureau of Islamic Networks Group (ING) and Abbot Jian Hu Shifu of the Zen Center will engage in a conversation to promote a greater appreciation and understanding of each other’s religion and traditions and their relationship to one another.

Ismael Nass is a lifelong student of Islamic Theology and Jurisprudence. Aisha Morgan is the Principal of the Islamic School at the Islamic Society of Santa Rosa. Both are longtime speakers with Islamic Networks Group.

Islamic Networks Group (ING) is a non-profit organization whose mission is to counter prejudice and discrimination against American Muslims by teaching about their traditions and contributions in the context of America’s history and cultural diversity, while building relations between American Muslims and other groups.
