> The Muslim​ ​Culture​ ​Mural not only shows images of the Muslim faith, it also shows the diversity of the Muslim community in Ithaca.  Each doorway has a glimpse into the culture of Muslims in our community.  A market scene celebrates West African culture, and giving charity. Mountains and valleys fill another window, showing the beauty of the middle east and a journey of faith.  The center window is the base of the faith in a higher power.  Scenes of Asia, and a reflection of the effort to disconnect from our daily routines, a representation of meditation and prayer.  Last but not least is the fifth window, with a European picnic basket, representing sharing and the body as a vessel of peace.
