The East Side Freedom Library invites you to the last conversation in a three part series presented by the
ISLAMIC RESOURCE GROUP OF MINNESOTA
“ISLAM IN AMERICA”
These presentations will introduce us to what Muslims believe. They will explore basic terminology, demographics, and the differences between religion and cultural practice. Taught by local practicing Muslims, these presentations will provide an invaluable opportunity to ask questions and build bridges with our Muslim neighbors.
