The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community Women’s Auxiliary upcoming interfaith symposium will ask the question: “Does Religion Promote Extremism?”
In this ladies-only event, prominent scholars from the Christian, Hindu, Muslim and Sikh faiths will present their viewpoints on the topic. The conference will be moderated by Delta Coun: Jeannie Kanakos.
An open dialogue and a question-and-answer session that aims to provide the tools and methods necessary to maintain peace in society will follow presentations.
Media reports continue to blame religion for rise in extremism. But is that the complete story? Scholars from many faiths will discuss what role religion has played in world conflict and how religion can be a source of peace.
The event is set for Saturday, Dec. 9 from 2 to 4 p.m. at the Baitur Rahman Mosque, 9570 River Rd.
Admission is free and daycare and refreshments will be provided.
