www.windowtoislam.com MEDIA ADVISORY “A WINDOW TO ISLAM” SYMPOSIUM
AT 35th ICNA-MAS ANNUAL CONVENTION Building Bridges to a
Peaceful Future The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) in collaboration with
the Muslim American Society (MAS), will be organizing its 35th annual
convention in Hartford, CT, from May 29th through May 31st, 2010 The three
day annual event draws close to 15,000 delegates from across the nation and
features renowned speakers and community leadership. The convention will host a one day symposium on Saturday May
29th, “A Window to Islam”, for individuals of all faiths. It will
explore aspects of Islam such as the approach to Family challenges, an open
Q&A session, and several other topics that are pertinent today. The
symposium as well as the Q&A session will be geared towards fulfilling a growing
need for accurate information on Islam and Muslims. Islam, the religion of approximately 7 million Americans, and
about 1.2 billion worldwide enjoins faith in One God, peace, and humility as
well as social, communal and family values. Despite being part of the American
milieu since the founding of the nation, Islam remains widely misunderstood in The objective of this event is to promote dialogue between different
cultures and faiths. Every year thousands of people from diverse backgrounds
and ethnicities participate in such events.
It is our hope that through an open dialogue we will understand each
others’ faith and thereby contribute towards a more peaceful and tolerant society.
