    Taneem Aziz, president of the Muslim Community of Northeast Tennessee, spoke on a monotheism panel about the difficulties Muslims face with people equating Muslims with ISIS extremists. He said this is a difficult time for Muslims who are burdened by such stereotypes. Later in the discussion, the panel agreed the best ways to combat religious stereotypes are to engage in open-minded education and dialogue. Aziz concluded by saying he is too busy correcting misconceptions to fully explain what Islam is.
