Rhetoric Race and Religion
For two weeks I taught Qur’anic peacemaking & intersection with nature at my masjid. You can say a hundred things about the Muslim community. You can say what we are not. Let me tell you what we are:
A brother recovering from drug addiction now utilizing his faith to build a new life.
A sister recently migrated who faces deep discrimination at work and in life, yet learns to keep her faith as a central tool for
reconciliation with others
A psychologist who built a domestic violence program that serves families from all over our region.
We are simply one of the most diverse, profoundly thoughtful & engaged communities. We make our faith and love of God one that transforms and heals so much in this world.
Know us. Sit with us. Before you speak about us, speak to us.
