Social Justice Binds Humanity Together
Session Description:
All religions place importance on social justice, and all call for a world built on its cherished values. What are those values, and how can religions practice those values in their area of influence? What are the significant impediments religious communities face in their quest for a global social justice movement, and how can they be overcome? The session explores how the movement of social justice played out in the history of Islam, what specific contributions can Islam and the Muslim community offer to the worldwide social justice movement, what is required from religious groups to be part of a global social justice movement, and can they play a constructive role in it?
