ISIS does not represent Islam according to President Bush and President Obama yet Americans still associate Islam with extremism. Since May of 2015 we have been leading a campaign in Connecticut against misinformation regarding Islam that stems from Extremist Ideology & ISIS propaganda that has been propagated through the media. Our goal being to bring peace between the hearts. Next to most lectures there is a link to a PDF with more info. We have spoken at:
