Dear Sir/Madam,

We hope this letter finds you in best of health and spirit.  It is with great pleasure that we invite you to attend “Window to Islam” at our national annual convention being held at Connecticut Convention Center, 100 Columbus Blvd, Hartford, CT 06103 on Saturday, July 7th, 2007, 10 am to 5 pm.  This symposium is organized by the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), a north America-wide, non-ethnic, non-sectarian grassroots organization dedicated to the dissemination of correct information on Islam and Muslims.  Many local interfaith groups are partnering in this effort.

Islam, the religion of approximately 7 million Americans, promotes peace, prayer, humility as well as social, communal and family values.  Despite the many similarities and values shared with other faiths, such as Christianity and Judaism, Islam remains the most misunderstood religion.  “Window to Islam” will cater for the growing desire from the general public for correct information about Islam and Muslims.
The symposium is a diverse interactive gathering providing a forum for people of all faiths and backgrounds to discuss a range of socio-religious issues pertaining to Islam and America.  This entire day program features Informative Sessions, Extensive Q&A Sessions, Cultural Bazaar, Art Exhibitions, Cross Culture Interaction and much more!  Lunch will be served.  There is no admission fee and certificates will be provided to all participants.

This symposium will address common questions such as what do Muslims believe? How did Islam originate? What do Muslims believe about Mary and Jesus? Does Islam condone terrorism? Is Islam intolerant of other religions? How do Muslims view Judaism? Christianity? What is the status of women in Islam? Why do Muslim women cover?  All sessions will be interactive with participants having maximum time for Q&A.

We appreciate you taking time from your busy schedules.  We believe your participation is essential to enhance understanding between communities, and to remove ignorance; the major source for hatred and violence in society.  We would be extremely delighted to see you there.
