The Beauty of Islam

 

With

Dr. Saleem Ahmed
 


Saleem is the spiritual founder of All Believers Network. His aspiration is to appreciate the beauties of all religions and make Hawai‘i renowned as the "Inter-Faith Harmony Capital of the World."

He is the author of Beyond Veil and Holy War: Islamic Teachings and Muslim Practices with Biblical Comparisons (2002) and Islam: A Religion of Peace? (2009).   He is also founder of Milun (Association for Promoting South Asian Culture) which shares the region’s common cultural heritage with others.  He retired from the East-West Center in 1995 (where he led its botanical pest control initiative and introduced the neem tree to Hawai‘i).

Saleem will share his personal faith journey in finding beauty in Islam and all major world religions.  He will share his ideas for promoting Hawai‘i as the World's Interfaith Harmony Capital and plans for an International Interfaith Conference in Hawaii for Summer 2011with the theme One Reality, One Humanity, Converging Paths
