Salam Alaikum,

We are happy to announce an event that both Guiding Light Islamic Center and Salaam Network are collaborating together on. We are hosting Professors Brad Bowman and Greg Hutcheson from the University of Louisville, their expertise in history being in the Origins Period of Islam and Spain respectively.

Our guests will be exploring dialogue, diplomacy, and negotiations between Muslims and Christians from the establishment of an Islamic community to its expansion into Spain and the Iberian Peninsula. They will discuss treaties, diplomatic letters, and other primary sources that serve to counter common media manipulation of public opinion toward a conception of Islam being "spread by the sword" or a "clash of civilization" between Islam and Christianity.

Refreshments will be available and light literature to take home will be present at this esteemed lecture! External Event Url
