Chicago Conference on Islam

Submitted by Paul Hease (United States), May 1, 2006 at 10:52

I read that last week many notable islamic scholars were delivering talks with such benign titles as "Redemptive Suffering in Islam" and others. With this sneaky attempt to paint Islam with pseudo-christian qualities, I am very interested if anyone went to this conference and could describe , in precis, the content. Is this just a continuation of the deliberate deception that muslims are mandated to engage in regarding the infidels?
