Being Muslim in America
Recently the news has been saturated with images of protests at Park51, more commonly known as the “Mosque near Ground Zero”. This community center’s proximity to Ground Zero is the professed reason behind many critics of its construction. Will this debate hinder the acceptance of Muslims in America?  Is the media to blame for fanning the flames of “Islamophobia”?

Guests:
Aisha Musa, Ph.D., Florida International University
Shaikh Shafayat Mohamed, Darul Uloom Institute
Daniel Alvarez, M.A., M.T.S., Florida International University
Rabbi Dr. Yaakov Thompson, Sunrise Jewish Center

Radical Changes in the Church
Louisiana legislature passes an act allowing guns in churches, gay and lesbian clergy are O.K.’d in the Presbyterian Church, the ordination of women priests is categorized with pedophiles and gay marriage becomes legal in Catholic Argentina.  Are these radical changes a death knell or growing pains for Christianity, and just how much does secular society influence religious belief?

Brandon Park, D.Min., Wayside Baptist Church
Daniel Alvarez, M.A., M.T.S., Florida International University
Rev. Dr. Priscilla Felisky Whitehead, Church by the Sea (UCC)

Keeping Faith in a Time of Chaos
In a recent Gallup Poll, three quarters of Americans say the Country’s losing its moral values.  The blame is a decline in ethical standards, dishonesty by government and church leaders and people simply turning away from God. Our panel discusses if and how the faithful will be able to keep their faith in this time of chaos.

Guests:
Daniel Alvarez, M.A., M.T.S., Florida International University
Edward Sunshine, Ph.D., Barry University

Alternative Beliefs
Religious freedom was a founding principal of our country, often less practiced than preached. Today we are a country of countless religious and philosophical traditions.  What happens when one’s faith falls outside of the mainstream religions of America?

Sandra Cheryl Richardson, Religious Order of the Circle of Isis Rising
Ken Loukinen, Florida Atheists and Secular Humanists
Mary Lou Pfeiffer, L.L.M., Florida International University
