To share its vision with the community, the center opened its doors to the public on Aug. 19 in conjunction with mosques throughout the Los Angeles area.

The young ladies were manning an information table for visitors. They offered a wealth of pamphlets on their religion.

"Islam Explained," "Status of Women in Islam," "Concept of God in Islam," "Life After Death" were some of the concepts covered by Why Islam, an informational project by the Islamic Circle of North America.

Visitors were also offered an English translation of the Quran, the Muslim holy book.

"We're not here to convert anyone, we're here to answer questions anyone may have about Islam," said Why Islam's Kellie Huynh, 22, of Arcadia.

After such a friendly and enlightening visit, perhaps the question should be "Why not Islam?"
