Hot off the press
December 10, 2006
After much anticipation, the second issue of The Muslim Voice has been finally released. One glance at the glossy cover will reveal the wait has been well worth it. Not to give you any spoilers, but the layout is beyond cool.
Copies are available at the International Student Centre, the Bahen prayer space, the Sussex Club House and the MSA Office (21 Sussex Ave., Suite 405), and after Jumuah prayers at Hart House. And be sure to come back here and voice your approval or disapproval. An email to the editor would work as well – muslimvoice@yahoo.ca.
What did you think of the Interfaith Dialogue?
December 3, 2006On Thursday, November 30, the MSA joined Campus for Christ in an Interfaith Dialogue, seeking to promote dialogue and understanding between Muslims and Christians. The event featured Shabir Ally and Tony Costa, who answered questions about the essentials of their respective faiths, and Sawitri Mardyani and Valera Strugov, who talked about their religious experience as students. This was followed by a lively and at times heated question and answer session.
The event was, Alhamdulillah, a success. About 120 people attended, both Muslims and Christians alike. Many stayed behind afterwards to chat with the speakers and other attendees. Some commented that we need to do more to better understand each other, and that similar interfaith events should be planned in the future. What do you think?
