Muslim Experts Give Friendly Q&A On Islam

No subject was off-limits as three Muslim educators good-naturedly handled questions on Islam from a large audience in Morton Grove. All had ties to the Morton Grove mosque, and wanted to help neighbors understand Islam better.

  About 70 people filled the Morton Grove Library's Baxter room Wednesday to hear three Muslim educators, with ties to Morton Grove's Muslim Community Center, give a lively question and answer session about their faith.  Habeeb Qadri, the principal of the MCC's Full Time School and a former staff member and student at Harvard University's Principals' Center, started the evening off with a brief introduction to Islam. Then he joined two others at a panel. They were Omer Mozaffer, who teaches at the University of Chicago's Graham School and is an adjunct professor of theology at Loyola University, and Abeer Saleh, who teaches science at the MCC's Full Time School.

Learn About Your Muslim Neighbors At Q&A

A college professor and educators from Morton Grove's Islamic school will give a brief intro to Islam at the Morton Grove Library Wednesday. Questions--on topics from headscarves to Ramadan--are welcome.

Residents from Morton Grove and surrounding communities will have a chance to learn about the Islamic faith and culture from their Muslim neighbors at Morton Grove’s Muslim Community Center, thanks to an upcoming interactive forum called “Muslim Faith and Culture, a Neighborhood Q&A” slated for 7 p.m. on Wednesday, November 14, at the Morton Grove Public Library. Representatives from the MCC will be on hand to answer questions on everything from “what is the Islamic faith?”, to daily life aspects such as headscarves, holidays and more. Audience members will be invited to submit questions.
