Seek personal encounter:
While books, articles, documentaries, etc. are essential to education, there is so much to gain from face-to-face interaction that we can’t learn otherwise. ING’s primary aim is education in classrooms and community settings (such as churches and synagogues or with public service employees such as police officers, service clubs like Rotary, and all kinds of venues) through presentations about Muslim Americans and interfaith panels representing the five major world religions. If you’re in the Bay Area, schedule a presentation with us or have us schedule an interfaith panel for you.
If you’re not in the Bay Area, we have affiliates throughout the country who use our material and train speakers to our professional standards.
If there’s no affiliate in your area, please contact our Programs Manager at Scheduler@ing.org to see if we can arrange a presentation by webinar. Being engaged with interfaith work is also a good option for building relationships with the Muslim community or other religious groups. To find interfaith events in your community visit this link.
You can also visit your local mosque. Contact a mosque to find a good time to visit or look for events being held by a Muslim community. For example, this mosque in Orlando hosts a time every week for anyone in the area to come by and ask any questions they may have about Islam — coffee included.
Many other mosques throughout the country do the same. Look for announcements of mosque open houses and similar events.
