A similar meeting was recently held in Smyrna and now a meeting is being planned for nearby Manchester… The topic of the meeting is understanding the Muslim population. However, the meeting that was in Smyrna this past March was held by a different group.

A special meeting has been scheduled for the stated purpose of increasing awareness and understanding of American Muslims. “Public Disclosure in a Diverse Society” will be held from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. on Tuesday, June 4, at the Manchester-Coffee County Conference Center, 147 Hospitality Blvd.

Special speakers for the event will be Bill Killian, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Tennessee, and Kenneth Moore, special agent in charge of the FBI’s Knoxville Division.

Sponsor of the event is the American Muslim Advisory Council of Tennessee—a 15-member board formed two years ago when the General Assembly was considering passing legislation that would restrict those who worship and follow Sharia Law, which is followed by Muslims. The group says that 63,000 Muslims call Tennessee home.
