    T I E S

    T I E S is a multi-national equivalent of what started out as the AWARE CENTRE in Surra, Kuwait which targeted non-Muslim Westerners who were and still are welcomed to learn Arabic, etc but since then various people on committees wished also to open another location to include all nationalities because the main theme is to promote the true ways of Islam, as a peaceful religion and to show positive views of life as a Muslim. The original committee, management and staff of the AWARE CENTRE set goals also on a FREE BASIS for learning Arabic, as well as providing Cultural Courses, Cooking Classes, Leaflets and Books.
    Staff named the Bistro 'Food for Thought' and prepared a Menu with prices because it was to be the only service that would require money from visitors to AWARE.
    Later, an outsider was taken on as Chairperson of the committee and decided to order that visitors be charged fees for everything instead, despite the fact that British staff pointed out clearly, for Westerners it would appear as deceipt and past use of false pretences in order to attract customers at the outset, especially as the committee had already instructed one member of staff to describe the FREE COURSES and activities by speaking on a live English Language Television Channel KTV2. Directly presenting the truth of Islam to people of any and every nationality is really excellent, especially to clear up a multitude of misconceptions.
    If individuals seek to embrace Islam, thus becoming Muslim, the original nationality would be required for passports but s/he would be an equal Muslim member of a Universal Community - Ummah. Life's past mistakes erased by the mercy of God Almighty when each individual makes a Statement of Faith, which is one spoken sentence. However, encouraging a person towards considering any topic or religion through various interests in a different culture, customs and way of life whilst at the same time actually charging the individual for that indirect action is questionable.
    AWARE's Head Office is in Fahd Al-Salem Street, Kuwait City.
