The Milford
Public Library and Milford Speaks Out are co-hosting a presentation, ISIS vs
Islam, by Imam Sami Abdul Aziz. The event will be held in the library program
room on Thursday, October 26 at 7 pm. He will be discussing ISIS, terrorism and
how it differs from Islam; and will touch on world-wide extremism by other
groups in contrast to Islamic extremism.
This is a
return engagement for Imam Sami. Last Spring he discussed
“Understanding Islam” to a standing room only crowd and was very warmly
received.
Imam Sami is
the Muslim chaplain at Wesleyan University and President of Common Ground
Services; a non-profit organization dedicated to providing education,
consultation and community outreach of Islamic life and faith. In addition he
is Imam of the Bloomfield Muslim Community Center.
Milford
Speaks Out is an advocacy group dedicated to bringing about a fair and just
community addressing such issues as immigration, diversity, environmental
protection, equal rights, education and health care. The organization works
with local, state and national leaders to advance policies that uphold core
values of democracy.
This
free event will be held Thursday, October 26 at 7pm at Milford Public Library,
57 New Haven Ave. All are welcome.
