Abstract:
I believe a person’s beliefs are shaped by the communities in which a person identifies. In hopes of learning more about a group I do not identify with, I attended the Islamic Center of San Diego and the Kurdish Community Islamic Center to learn more. In the end, I gleaned a better understanding of how my personal beliefs compare and contrast with the Islamic faith. Additionally, I anticipated how my personal beliefs and the Islamic faith may clash in the therapeutic setting, which is essentially the most important aspect of this experiential immersion.
