The Impact of Christian-Muslim Relations on World Peace | Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali (video)

Dr. Mohammad Ali Shomali, Founding Director of the International Institute for Islamic Studies (IIIS) in Qom, Iran is a successful teacher and an engaging storyteller.

A graduate of the Islamic Seminaries of Qom, Shomali also holds Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts degrees in Western Philosophy from the University of Tehran. He earned his PhD from the University of Manchester in the UK and wrote his doctoral thesis on ethical relativism.

In addition to his work with the IIIS, Shomali is the Director of London’s Islamic Centre of England.

Shomali’s visit to Canadian Mennonite University stems from an ongoing relationship between Shi’a Muslim scholars from Iran and Mennonite scholars from Canada and the U.S. These scholars first met in 2002 to start an ongoing series of dialogues that aim to improve understanding between Muslims and Christians.

This lecture was recorded March 30, 2016 at Canadian Mennonite University.

View a report by Dr. Shomali on the lecture, as appeared in the May 2016 issue of Islam Today, here.
