It also deals with renewed interests in Rumi’s writings in recent years throughout the Middle East\, Europe\, & the United States. The starting point of the conference is Rumi’s well-known verse “come\, come again\, whoever you are\, come!” Rumi’s eloquent & humanistic poetry\, written sometimes with a sense of humor\, creates a window on Islamic beliefs\, values\, & wisdom that is far removed from images of violence & terrorism. Bringing well-known scholars of Islamic mysticism\, Rumi\, & the Middle East together\, we explore Rumi’s writings\, their place in Islamic literature & society\, & their resurgence as bestsellers in the West. The universality of Rumi’s poetry fosters an understanding of the human experience that transcends the boundaries of nations\, religions\, & languages.
