A Gift that Lasts
The world we live in is constantly evolving and ISNA is committed to be a positive driver of change. ISNA has long recognized the importance of engaging with other faith communities as a fundamental part of its mission, and therefore we continuously host interfaith events and webinars to educate our friends, partners, officials and activists of other faiths about Islam.
Additionally, these inter-religious projects have helped break down barriers of misunderstanding, formed genuine partnerships of faith and ethics, and established a platform to advocate for social justice issues for the common good.
We aim to work together to fight Islamophobia and share knowledge about the true teachings and understanding of our religion in all sectors.
The gift of education has a ripple effect--it creates change locally, nationally, and globally. Ignorance is our enemy, and with your support we can make a difference.
Please take advantage of the year-end tax benefits by giving a gift to ISNA before December 31, 2014. ISNA is a zakat-eligible and tax-deductible organization.

ISNA President Interviewed by Colorlines: CIA Torture Report: What Now?
 Earlier this week, the Senate Intelligence Committee finally made public the executive summary of their milestone investigation into the C.I.A.'s use of torture at secret prisons overseas during the Bush administration. The report details the brutal "enhanced interrogation" techniques used on detainees, as well as the torture program's efficacy (or lack thereof), based on the agency's own documentation. Their findings also reveal the C.I.A.'s duplicity, how it provided false information on the extent, scope, and utility of their practices to members of Congress..

SAVE THE DATE: Shoulder to Shoulder to Co-Host
"Divinity & Diversity: Building our Beloved Community Together"
February 19-21, 2015
Dublin & Hilliard, Ohio
 The United States has been a deeply religious society since its inception. Today, our religious landscape is changing as communities become increasingly diverse. Americans are more likely to see temples and mosques down the road beside the church, and communities from all traditions are hearing services lead in English, Spanish, Arabic, Hebrew, and more. Particularly in this post-9/11 context, what does this increased diversity mean for religious leadership?
This February, join national and local interfaith leaders as we discuss what this diversity means. Come share knowledge and experience of what skills will strengthen interreligious relationships and build resilient communities in America in the coming years. Workshops will provide opportunities to improve religious literacy, to learn about changing demographics, and to develop basic skills for responding to challenges presented by this increasing diversity, especially responding to religious discrimination.
