Islam Community and Faith

Community event:
A "Community Conversation: Islam-Community and Faith" will be held on Saturday, March 31, 2007, from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m., at the Moscow High School Auditorium, 402 East 5th Street, Moscow, Idaho. Two speakers, Dr. S.M Ghazanfar and Chaplain James Yee, will speak on Islam as a civilization and a faith respectively. There will be a panel discussion and refreshments. Free to the public.

Chaplain Yee is a former Muslim Chaplain for the U.S. prison camp in Guantanamo Bay. After being officially recognized twice for outstanding performance, Chaplain Yee was arrested and imprisoned
in a Navy brig for 76 days in September 2003 while being falsely accused of spying, espionage and aiding the alleged Taliban and Al-Qaeda prisoners. After months of government investigation, all criminal charges were dropped. For more information, see:
