Illuminating Islam: A Guide for Better Understanding
The second tier of programming took place on campus and utilized more sophisticated materials for JMU students and faculty. In conjunction with the Muslim Student Association, Grant Coordinators arranged for various activities during Islam Week, including talks on calligraphy, jihad, Sufism, and women in Islam, and co-hosted an Islamic Art Exhibit. All of the presentations were filmed, and two were chosen to be produced as video programs by the JMU School of Media Arts & Design. Those presentations, entitled – Women in Islam and Jihad in Context – were donated to local libraries and schools where they will be available for personal checkout and use as teaching aids. In addition, texts discussing the Islamic tradition were donated to local county schools; high schools received two books and three videos (including a PBS production). The Illuminating Islam Project was supported by the U.S. Department of State through a grant from the Cooperative Grants Program of NAFSA: Association of International Educators and the JMU Office of International Programs. | ![]() | |||
