Co-Sponsored by Muslim Women's Outreach |
Speakers: Debra Anderson, Crissy Hodges, Tamala Anderson, and Patsy Howell
Moderator: Hebah Ahmed
A recent poll in the US has found that 100,000 people per year in America alone are converting to Islam. For every 1 male convert to Islam, 4 females convert to Islam. Why? Are these women choosing to be oppressed? Are they giving up their "American Liberation" to become second-class citizens? Come hear why these women have made this life changing decision and what reactions they have received from friends, family, and other Americans. Challenge your own understanding about what the media presents and come hear for yourself. |
