Forum dispells Muslim myths
Article
Quote:
Misinformation breeds mistrust.
Panelists explored that theme as they responded to questions about Muslim culture during Wednesday night's discussion titled "Ignorance is Not Bliss: An Educated Approach to Respecting Muslim Culture."
About 40 people attended the event in Murphey 116.
The forum, which focused on Muslim campus relations, was sponsored by numerous student groups, including Theta Nu Xi Multicultural Sorority Inc., Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity Inc., Psi Sigma Phi Multicultural Fraternity Inc., and Embrace, a committee of the Black Student Movement.
The goal of the evening was "just to foster dialogue," said Denaá Hayes, secretary of Theta Nu Xi.
"A lot of people are so misinformed about events that are happening on our campus and throughout the world," she said.
The panel occurred almost three weeks after Mohammed Taheri-azar, a UNC alumnus, drove a jeep through the Pit.
