By Mona Beydoun · Sunday, April 5, 2015

The Center for Multicultural Affairs will hold “Fighting Islamophobia,”6-7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Room 310B in the Student Center. Jim Tran, who organized the event, said students can learn about the basics of Islam and its “involvement in the world today.” “This event is important because there are people that do not know enough about the Islamic faith, so in turn they make assumptions [about] it,”he said. CMA reached out to Eastern Michigan University’s Muslim Student Association to help pick a lecturer. Senior Immad Ahasari, MSA president, said they picked Mustapha El-Turk, a religious leader at the Iona Masjid, Iona, Michigan, because of his credibility. “The main point of what we really want is a productive discussion,”he said.

"I hadn't heard about it. I hope they get someone good to replace her," Anna Bolt, ECA student.
