Scotland now has a Muslim first minister: it's important to understand Islam and how its increasing presence impacts society.

Society of Advocates in Aberdeen. Library Room,

Why you should attend this event ...The author, Paigham Mustafa, introduces his new book, and explains why it was necessary to write it.People may not share their beliefs, yet they must accept that the increasing influence of a rising Muslim population needs to be understood by employers, educators, professionals, and all who want a cohesive society. Mustafa, a researcher and writer for more than 35 years, answers some inconvenient questions. For example, are Western values compatible with Islam? His book examines Islam from a pragmatic perspective; the answers are surprising and educational in equal measure — and important for both Muslims and non-Muslims.What the Quran says and what most people believe are two different things. Religious rules, for example, in Iran, insist that women wear the hijab, with harsh punishment for non-compliance. However, there is no mention in the Quran of the hijab as a head covering. Knowing this important fact means a much more considered approach can be taken.Mustafa’s book covers many controversial topics, including honour killings, apostasy, domestic violence, inheritance laws, and halal foods. Other affected areas include family law, finance, mortgages, alcohol, and the manufacture and supply of many goods and services. This book provides the information that will help understand Islam properly and resolve many issues that can arise from lack of knowledge, misunderstandings, and misconceptions.It is vital for everyone serious about the integration and progress of society to attend this talk.
