Understanding Islam and Muslims

What are some major misconceptions of Islam and Muslims? Hear an interview between a high school student and the leader of the Colorado Muslim Speakers Bureau for some basic information about the religion.

This conversation originally was livestreamed as part of the YCD Virtual Festival on October 11, 2020. The Festival was organized by Youth Celebrate Diversity and presented by Boeing.

Speakers include:

Trevor, a high school senior from Fort Collins, Colorado, and a member of YCD's Student Virtual Board
Nabeeh Hasan, the Director of the Colorado Muslim Speakers Bureau, an organization that aims to increase knowledge and awareness of Islam as well as interfaith dialogue and cooperation

An additional conversation followed this one focusing on Judaism, which can be viewed here:    • Understanding Judaism  

If you are a high school student interested in inclusion, activism or social justice, or if you know of one who is, please consider applying to join the YCD Student Virtual Board. This group of 30 teens from across the United States plans all of YCD's virtual programming, and created the YCD Virtual Festival where this conversation took place.
