ISNA's Interfaith Smoke and Mirrors--and Aren't the Gullible Kafirs Eating It Up?
Reading this article you would never know that ISNA shares the goals of the Muslim Brotherhood, or that it has been known to funnel money to Hamas, or that Ingrid Mattson, a former ISNA president, has been trying to whitewash Islamic terrorism for years:
A group of local women is espousing to eliminate misconceptions, fears and ignorance by educating people about various religions and faiths.
The fourth Interfaith Women Gathering event, set for Monday, Feb. 25, aims to do that with women, who, organizers believe, will carry forward the message peacefully.
Women Gathering was born in 2010 when former Oakville mayor Ann Mulvale and Laila Eiriksson, secretary general of the Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of Oakville, got together with other local faith leaders.
“Our goal is to increase understanding between women of different world religions as they set time apart to be with God and share fellowship,” said Mulvale said in an e-mail sent to The Oakville Beaver.
“We believe knowledge is a powerful thing. It can literally change lives. That together, we can and must work for the peace we all hunger for and the world needs.”
Keynote speaker for the gathering is Dr. Ingrid Mattson, from Huron University College at Western University. Mattson is a chair in Islamic Studies at Huron University College, a professor, author, founder of the Islamic Chaplaincy Program and director of the MacDonald Center for Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations at Hartford Seminary in Hartford, Connecticut.
This year’s gathering will be held from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. at the ISNA Canada Centre, 2200 South Sheridan Way, Mississauga.
It will include group meditations and speakers from faiths including Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, First Nations, Hindu, Muslim, Jewish, Sikh and Zoroastrian...
