Journey into Islam
Lustig, Akbar,
and Chane
Globalization, the war on terror, Islamic fundamentalism, and Islamaphobia escalated tensions between Western nations and the Muslim world. What can religious leaders do to promote dialogue and friendship between Muslims and the West?
Bishop John Bryson Chane and Rabbi Bruce Lustig joined Islamic scholar Professor Akbar Ahmed in a discussion of Dr. Ahmed’s new book, Journey Into Islam. Together they reaffirmed the power of dialogue and forming friendships across religion, race, and tradition to create lasting peace.
