Iowa State’s Muslim Student Association will host a lecture about Islam Against Terrorism at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Pioneer Room of the Memorial Union.

Imam Molhim Bilal of the Iowa City Mosque will give the lecture, which will be followed by a question and answer session for the audience to ask questions.

In February 2016, Bilal gave a presentation in Iowa City titled “What You Need to Know About Sharia Law,” as he believes it is something misunderstood and feared.

But Wednesday night’s discussion will center around how Islamic teachings are against terrorist acts happening in the world today. It will also talk about how these actions, which are done in the name of Islam, relate to what the Quran teaches Muslims.

The Muslim Student Association works to create awareness and education for Islam on campus and spread the message to the Iowa State community. It continues to work toward an environment where Muslim students can practice their religion with pride and ease.
