Causes and Cures Workshop in Masjid Saliheen Preston
On Sunday the 19th of February MEND North delivered a causes and cures workshop at Masjid Saliheen in Preston. The event was organised by the Preston Working Group and Masjid to raise awareness of Islamophobia.
The workshop covered the fundamental causes of rife Islamophobia in society, as well as some solutions for combatting it. The attendees were shocked at the level of Islamophobia and how media negativity has an impact on the rise. They were particularly astonished by a statistic that mentions ‘for every one moderate Muslim mentioned in the press, there are 21 references to extremist Muslims’ (Cambridge: University Press, 2013).
The workshop ended with a Q&A. The attendees thanked MEND and the mosque for organising the event.
MEND would like to thank Masjid Saliheen for organising the event.
