LTUIS Islamic Awareness Week 2011 Debate: Islam or Secular Liberalism- Which is the Way Forward?

The La Trobe University Islamic Society hosted the annual Islamic Awareness Week (IAW) for 2011 from the 11th-15th April. The aim of Islamic Awareness Week is to educate the wider community about Islam through a series of events held at La Trobe Uni, in Bundoora. We invite everyone to come, in order to gain an insight into pertinent and topical issues about Islam in the world today, and understand our perspective on old-age questions which we should never stop asking...

The theme for the IAW this year was "Islam: The Solution" and looked at what Islam has to offer to the individual, and to the world...
One of the major events during the IAW was the debate on Tuesday 12th April:

DEBATE
Topic: Islam or Secular Liberalism: Which is the Way Forward?
Date: Tuesday 12th April
Time: 5pm-7.30pm
Location: Agora Theatre, La Trobe Uni (Bundoora campus)

Exploring questions of..
-Which one is better for our times?
-Which is better at solving the world's problems?
-Which provides better governance for the world?

Islam related issues seem prevalent in society today. You hear about these terms in the news and on television, but what do Muslims have to say about it? and what do others have to say about it?

These topics were discussed in the format of a debate, with the idea of it being an intellectual discourse between two different ideas.

FEATURING:
Br. Yassir Morsi- President of Muslim Students Association of Victoria
Dr. John L Perkins- President of the Secular Party of Australia
