Ball State and Muncie are hosting a town hall discussion on promoting peace in troubled times at 7 p.m. on April 1. The Muncie City Council and Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler passed and signed a resolution on March 7 that supports religious diversity, tolerance and mutual understanding. It was created due to the increased anti-muslim sentiment and an incident that occurred in November at that Muncie Mall, where a woman posted on social media that she was worried about a terrorist attack after seeing two women in traditional Muslim robes and head coverings at the mall.
