Just to give you an update I promised on our six-hour seminar, we dealt with some of these topics:
Why Is It Important to Understand Islam?
How Do Muslims View Adam, Abraham, Jesus, and Muhammad?
Shiite, Sunni, Wahabbi?
Islam in Virginia?
Are Muslims Friends or Foes--Islam and Jihad
This was followed by an open discussion. Our prime facilitator for the day was Dr. Charles Beckett, Director of the Center for Christian Understanding of Islam in Richmond. We were also to have had Dr. George Braswell, but his wife ended up in the hospital in Raleigh. I commend to others doing something of this nature. All participants paid $10 to participate that included lunch. This is the second meeting like this we have done here, the other in 2004. I suspect we need to do something of a similar nature again in 4 to 5 years.
