UC Riverside Second Annual Religious Fair was held by religious organizations in UCR with the help of Epsilon Iota Sigma Fraternity.

There were 14 religious student clubs around the UCR Bell Tower, and the students had the chance to know more about different faiths and cultures.

Our booth was one of the most visited booths especially after our speech. The introduction part of the speech is as follows:

"Interfaith Dialogue Student Association was founded just a few months ago. Our mission is to improve interactions in the university community by bridging the dialogue gap between Muslims and members of other faiths and to provide an atmosphere of exchanging ideas between Islam and other beliefs.

Interfaith dialogue seeks to realize religion's basic oneness and unity, and the universality of belief. Religion embraces all beliefs and races in brotherhood, and exalts love, respect, tolerance, forgiveness, mercy, human rights, peace, brotherhood, and freedom via its Prophets.

For interfaith dialogue to succeed, we must forget the past, ignore polemics, and focus on common points..."
