Understanding Islam

​​We're lucky to live in one of the most diverse places in the Country. Without understanding the diverse cultures around us, however, misconceptions and falsehoods can abound. That's why I've co-hosted and moderated a three-part speaker series on "Understanding Islam," in Palo Alto and in Mountain View. 

The goal was simple: to create a better understanding of Islam among the general public. I hope you enjoy the videos of our events below and find them useful and informative. 

The videos below are from our series co-hosted with the Mountain View Human Relations Commission.
