Lecture 11/6

The lecture on Thursday night was “Islam and Christian Muslim Dialogue: Theological and Political Challenge and Opportunity.” Dr. Charles Amjad-Ali gave the lecture. It was at 7 in Olin 102.

Dr. Amjad-Ali talked about the Islamic religion and the beliefs that they hold. He said that Islam religion is close to the Christian faith. Islamic religion they believe in Allah which is there God. Their bible is the Qur'an.

He gave us some of the history of the religion. The religion was established in 622. Many people followed the beliefs of the Islam religion and they believed in Allah. Spain was ruled by Islam for about eight hundred years. Then Christianity was developed and some people converted.

The lecture was interesting. It was interesting to hear about another religion and their beliefs.

Dr. Amjad-Ali was a good speaker. He started out his lecture with quotes. He kept everyones attention through out the lecture. He had time for questioning after the lectures.
