“None of you has faith until you love for your neighbor what you love for yourself.” - The Prophet Muhammad
An invitation to understand Islam hand in hand with authentic representatives of the faith. Three prominent Muslim voices dealing with Islamophobia on the front lines. Weighing in with their diverse perspectives are: a Muslim woman theologian and past head of the largest Islamic organization in North America; a well known Arab-American civil rights activist and community organizer; and one of the leading Islamic scholars in the West. At a time of increased hatred, bigotry, and misinformation we hear from knowledgeable voices rooted in the depths of the Islamic intellectual and theological tradition.
