The Islamic Society of Milwaukee will be giving a presentation on understanding the Islamic religion on December 2 at West Campus from 11 a.m. to 12 p.m. in Room 117. The event is sponsored by West Campus Student Government. The featured speaker will be discussing the rumors and stereotypes related to Muslims and their religion. According to Scott Dennis, West Campus Student Government Vice President, the purpose of the presentation is not to change the opinions of students, but to address any confusion or questions those present may have about the culture and religion.

When asked her opinion on having this presentation, MATC West Campus staff member Carrie Martin feels that everyone is entitled to their own beliefs and hopes to attend.

Certain students, when asked, feel the presentation could be a positive thing for the school. “I think it’s a good idea,” student Sara Mackey shared.

“I like it,” student Rogelio Fuentez stated. “I think it’s a good step toward tearing away from religious barriers.” More information about the Islamic Society of Milwaukee can be found on their website at http://www.ismonline.org/NISM/index.php.
