Before September 11, 2001, most Americans had trouble getting motivated to learn about Islam. In the aftermath many people were compelled to ask questions about this religion and its followers.

Here are some resources you and your congregation can use to learn more about Islam and our Christian witness with and among Muslims.

• Our Muslim Neighbors - web version of our popular brochure. Includes a bibliography.
