Towards an Improved Understanding of Islam and Your Muslim Neighbors
Thursdays from October 22nd to November 19th & 20th, CMM is proud to present this important and timely course on Islam and what it means to be Muslim. Far too often, we have seen news story after news story spin and contort our perceptions of our Muslim neighbors, and as a result, we have pulled together many Islamic scholars and leaders from around Boston to present Islam in a different light. We would very much like for you to join us and take part in this wonderful course and hope to see you all there beginning this Thursday.
