The Emir-Stein Center: A Forum for Exchange

The Emir-Stein Center, which is dedicated to empathy through religious and cultural literacy, has continued its rapid growth as a source for well-researched yet accessible educational and bridge-building videos. Recent videos have included:

The Center is enormously grateful to its supporters, who have expressed their love of knowledge by making grants for video production, as well as to the sponsors of Zaytuna’s new studio space. The studio’s establishment and expansion will be of immense benefit to the Center, as it allows for the streamlined, inhouse production of educational content.

It was a kind of depressive Sunday with everything we hear on the news and social media. So much hatred. I was scrolling through YouTube and came across Why Evangelicals hate Muslims. As my wife and I watch it, it was like someone breathed life into us. Thank you for what you are doing. You helped us today.

I really enjoyed this video. Personally faith is a gift I have yet to receive and I have a general dislike for religion. My biggest issue I feel, is that religion breeds bigotry, distrust and hatred. My thoughts are not isolated to any one religion either. I hold them all in contempt. It is refreshing to see a religious message of inclusion, understanding and respect.
