Course Description: For a fifth of the world's population, Islam is both a religion and a complete way of life. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness. The majority have nothing to do with the extremely grave events which have come to be associated with their faith. Let's learn more about Islam and have a chance to visit with some of the members.

Course Instructor: Lucille Hansen is a former history teacher. While teaching, she spent many years working with the University of Utah's Middle East Center being trained to give other Utah teachers tools to teach about Islam.
