From Tricia Khutoretsky, Curator:
NOT ABOUT BOMBS presents contemporary art by Iraqi women. What are the women of Iraq feeling and thinking, especially in the context of the destruction of their country by the US-led war; the Arab Spring; and the role women are playing in shaping the future of the Middle East?
The Iraqi and American Reconciliation Project (IARP) is pleased to announce plans to bring 3 of the 5 featured artists–Dena Al-Adeeb, Sundus Abdul Hadi and Tamara Abdul Hadi–to Minneapolis for a series of dialogues and collaboration, but we need your help!

Conversation with Qays Arthur on Guidance and Faith II
By Fedwa Wazwaz, EngageMN
In previous blogs, I began a conversation with Shaykh Qays Arthur from Qibla Online Academy for the Islamic Sciences, on some of the spiritual dimensions within Islam. We discussed briefly monotheism and began a conversation on faith and guidance. We will continue this conversation from the angle of the meaning of faith. I cannot go too much in depth in these conversations as this is just a blog – but if anyone is interested, Shaykh Qays teaches a class on Qibla titled, Understanding Islam which will start soon. The course on Qibla is a more in depth analysis of faith. These series of blogs are meant to touch the surface and help bring an understanding of what Muslims believe and why some of the accusations toward Islam contradict Islamic teachings.
