Learning About Another Faith



Wednesday Jan. 27—Although Muslims are often in the news, many Americans are not familiar with their beliefs.

Today we were honored to have Iman Adin of the Massjid Alnoor Islamic Community Center in Waterloo as our guest speaker. He explained how the Islam faith started from the same roots as Judaism and Christianity, they believe in the same all-powerful God and that they study many of the same figures from the Old Testament.

He stressed how the Muslims believe in peace and that terrorists who use the name of Islam are combining their political views with the religion. Iman Adin studied in Bosnia and got his master’s degree in Brunei.

The Waterloo Center has members from many countries and cultures. Thank you for your interesting talk, Iman Adin.
