Liberal Islam:

A Clear And Present Danger

Date : 10th September 2005
Venue : Pusat Sains Negara, Mont Kiara, Kuala Lumpur
Organised By : Muslim Professionals Forum

What is Liberal Islam? What is its origin and background? How is it viewed from Islamic thoughts and tradition? What is its impact and how pervasive is its influence on Muslims? How should we address this threat?

The objective of this Seminar is to discuss the liberal thoughts and material secularism aggressively promoted by the West.

Owing to the wide scope of this problem, MPF intends to organise this Seminar in a series. This is the first and the speakers are only a part of many whom we plan to invite for talks in future seminars.

MPF welcomes organisations, scholars, intellectuals and concerned individuals to participate and together make this seminar a success.
