All are welcome to first ‘Islam and the West’ LACI lecture Monday
The university community is invited to the first installment of “Islam and the West,” the topic of this semester’s Liberal Arts and Critical Issues series, on Monday, Sept. 3, in Hoover 105.
Shahriar Ahmed, from Bilal Mosque in Beaverton, will present “Beliefs and Beginnings” from 7 to 8 p.m. His presentation will cover the basic beliefs and practice of Islam and its early history. Attendees will have the opportunity to ask questions about what Muslims believe and how they practice their faith.
Although designed for seniors as a forum to discuss a significant public issue of current concern, the LACI series is open to all at no charge. The same lecture is presented from 4:40 to 5:40 p.m. each week; however, it is recommended that the general public attend the evening session, if possible.
This is the first in a series that will meet each Monday through the semester. Details on future LACI lectures will be provided regularly in e-nnouncements.
