10/30/07 - In a lecture sponsored by the University of Rhode Island's Muslim Student Association, a panel of speakers said that poor relations between Americans and Muslims are due to faults from both sides.

Bill Bartels, a philosophy professor at the University of Rhode Island, Omer Bajwa, a Muslim Chaplain at Cornell University, and Dr. Mohamed Nimer, a member of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), spoke for nearly three hours Saturday night at the lecture "Islamophobia: Myth or Facts" in the Memorial Union Ballroom.

The lecture, which attracted about 90 people, was MSA's response to the College Republican's Islamo-Fascism Awareness Week.
