PROGRAM CLUSTER
Islam in the Global Context
At the heart of Islam's social conscience is a shared concern for a "just, peaceful and sustainable world." The Holy Qur'an calls on Muslims to provide for the poor, to protect nature and to come together with diverse peoples to learn from one another. In keeping with this year's theme, "Hearing each other," the Parliament presents a number of sessions designed to break down stereotypes and misunderstandings of Islam and Muslims by providing authentic and diverse expressions of the faith. Muslim sessions will include observances, intrareligious
panels representing diverse aspects of Islam, interreligious panels modelling dialogue with other religious and spiritual traditions on various issues, engagement workshops in multi-religious settings and exhibitions featuring Muslim art, music, painting, poetry and film. The 2009 Parliament also offers Muslim youth the opportunity to participate with young people of all religious and spiritual traditions I see the Youth Program Cluster on pages 95-96 for more info).
