Panel Discussion:
Muslim Women Have Their Say:
Challenging Stereotypes About Islam

This panel is an opportunity for Muslim women to discuss openly matters about Islam that they feel have been misunderstood and to challenge stereotypes about Islam, in particular, women's place within Islam. It offers a chance for students, faculty, staff, and the general public to hear Muslim women who live in Springfield talk about faith, culture, and politics, and to better understand the fastest growing religion in the US.
