guiding principles
isb albany's programs are based on the following principles:
- we are educators and a bridge between islam and americans of other faiths.
- we emphasize local activism and the importance of building honest, intimate,
and long-term relationships as an effective process for clarifying the muslim world.
- we stress face-to-face interaction, giving a human face to theoretical or
foreign practices, which is the most powerful tool in overcoming stereotypes
and prejudices.
- our educational programs meet the needs of public institutions as well as
meeting the needs of muslims.
- we work towards being a trusted source of information on islam.
- we focus on proactive activity, which means we initiate instead of react.
- we interact with people based on belief in their innate nature as decent and
honorable human beings.
