Busting Myths about Jews and Muslims
Date TBA
When you work with people of different faiths, ethnicities, cultures, and races, you are bound to encounter conflicts, both real and perceived. The battles may be overt or subtle, but they cause tensions and start pitting one against another. They get entangled in these gratuitous battles instead of enjoying their lives and being productive to their company, government, or the community they serve.
Our goal at the Center for Pluralism is to bust the myths and pave the way for tension-free living and work environment. We hope you walk out of the zoom seminar respecting others’ otherness and accepting the God-given each other’s uniqueness, resulting in fewer conflicts and plenty of goodwill, peace, and harmony. Above all else, free yourselves to enjoy your time with your family.
The myths and stereotyping have persisted because very few have done anything to change it. Let’s make an effort to understand them.

I am one of the guys with whom people of all faiths from Atheism to Zoroastrianism and everyone in between confides, and I will keep that confidential, but I feel their anger, anguish, and pain when they say ugly things about the others. This seminar is an effort to bring sanity, peace, and profitability to such individuals.
Here is the list in progress; we will add them to make a comprehensive list and then classify them to address. The next round is myths about all religions. If everyone has got some of this crap, how can they effectively work together and enjoy life with so much suspicion?
