This course will present the truth about Islam from an Islamic perspective and explore the deep reasons behind the fear of Islam by many Westerners. The course will hopefully stimulate a productive and respectful dialogue about the role of the three Abrahamic religions in a time of political upheaval and conflict. Content for the course is based on the book I Am the Other — Debating the Role of Islam in a Divided America co-authored by Imam Azhar Subedar, a well-known Islamic scholar, and Robert Gary. Note: Students are not required to purchase the book to attend this class.
