Experience Islam Week

for Cambridge University Islamic Society | 09.02.2005 10:02 | Anti-racism | Culture | Cambridge

What is Islam? What are its teachings? Cambridge Experience Islam Week 2005
gives you a chance to explore what Islam stands for - an opportunity to
hear from internationally renowned academics and lecturers, to speak to
Muslim students about their faith and to have all your questions on Islam
answered. As well as an introduction to the basic principles of Islam,
topics covered will include human rights, the ethics of warfare,
fundamentalism, the stories of Britons who have chosen Islam as a way of
life... and much more! Cambridge EIW 2005 is an unmissable opportunity to
find out what this religion is really all about.

February 5th to 11th 2005, Cambridge
 http://www.isoc.co.uk/eiw

Please note our week highlight on the evening of Thursday 10th February at
The Guildhall: "LAYLA - a cultural evening inspired by Islam." The event
will bring you music, art and food from around the world. Come and roam
through our Moroccan souk-style market area, help yourself to free henna
tattoos, personalised calligraphy bookmarks while browsing through
exhibitions and displays of exquisite Islamic Art. Stalls will open at 5pm
and the main presentations will take place from 6pm.

The week's schedule of events is below. For complete event and speaker
