Luna Banuri of the Utah Muslim Civic League said the LDS Church, in its new pamphlet to boost understanding between its members and Muslims, did “a very good job in presenting a holistic view of Islam,” but stressed that a great deal of work remains.
— a research fellow at Brigham Young University’s Maxwell Institute, where he works in Islamic studies and comparative religion — has worked closely on numerous occasions with high-ranking church leaders on outreach with Muslim leaders.
