"When the Moors Ruled in Europe" - Documentary Film
Monday, March 30th 2009 4pm-6pm
Erdahl-Cloyd Theater (D.H. Hill Library, Media Center)http://society.ncsu.edu/islam/programs/moors09.html

This is a stunningly beautiful and informative documentary that debunks a lot of the myths associated with the Moors' invasion of Europe . In the course of doing that, it also illuminates the rich and advanced Muslim society of the Middle Ages, presenting an alternative view of the Islamic culture that has, unfortunately, become our society's bogeyman post-9/11.
This is a MUST see documentary.

`Reflections of a Trip to Turkey` - LectureWednesday, April 1st 2009 5pm-6.30pm
315 Riddick Hall, North Campus, NCSU
http://society.ncsu.edu/islam/programs/trip09.html

We would like to invite you to a talk titled "Reflections of a trip to Turkey" by NCSU faculty members Dr. Ellen Vasu & Dr. Michael Vasu.

A group of professors and clergymen from the Triangle took a trip to Turkey last year. NCSU faculty members, Dr. Ellen Vasu & Dr. Michael Vasu, were among them. The group visited mosques, churches, synagogues, and historical/biblical sites and enjoyed natural beauties of Turkey. But more importantly they had the opportunity to meet some local families and share a dinner with them.

This talk will discuss the questions:
- "How can citizens of the world live in peace and harmony?"
- "How sharing different perspectives by listening to each other contributes
to the world peace?

This is an excellent opportunity of broadening your horizons by exploring the various dimensions of Turkey.
