More than one fifth of the world’s population follows Islam, the fastest growing religion. Join Dennis Aronson, Ph.D., for a presentation on “Understanding Islam” from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Wednesday, March 6, at Pine River Library.

This presentation will give an overview of the religion’s history, evolution and common practices, and also discuss some of the most controversial aspects, including Islamic law, extremism, the role of women and jihad. Aronson retired as the senior instructional designer for the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training. He lived and worked for eight years in the Middle East. He also taught at the American University of Beirut and the West Virginia College of Graduate Studies.
