Taste of Islam 2005: Jihad or Terrorism? Misconceptions Created by the Media

Featuring Speaker Hisham Abdullah

Includes free Chinese dinner to highlight the culture and contributions of the Muslims in China, a performance by Stanford Hwimori (Korean Drumming Group), and a Tsunami donation drive through Stanford Students for Relief!

Because media portrayals frequently depict jihad as an Islamic term for terrorism, this talk will focus on the distinctions between jihad and terrorism and how the Islamic faith deals with the 'other'.
