This Sunday is the second full day of Ramadan, a central 30 day observance in the practice of practicing Muslims. We will take this opportunity to reflect on western views of Islam - both the hostility from some quarters and the tolerance and welcome from others. 

As Ramadan is a time of charity and deepening faith, we ask what the realities of the western view of Islam can teach us about our own nature and about the practices that can help us grow beyond our limitations.
