Muslim Journeys: Bridging Cultures - A Two-Part Understanding

In the second part of our series, we will take a look at modern Islam in the United States through the eyes of several American Muslim teenagers who will speak about their experiences in being Muslim, their practice of Islam at school, observing the fast in the month of Ramadan, peer pressures and family pressures they experience, and adapting to an American way of life.  A speaker will highlight the differences and similarities of the three major world faiths, Islam, Christianity and Judaism. A trunk of artifacts will be available to enhance our understanding of Islamic culture. Please register for the program on Northland Library’s website (www.northlandlibrary.org) or by calling the reference desk at 412-366-8100, extension 113.
