Exeter Ask a Muslim event a success

AROUND 50 guests attended a coffee morning at the Mint Methodist Church in Exeter on Saturday, November 16, to "Ask a Muslim" anything they wanted to about Islam and Muslims.

The event was organised by Inclusive Mosque Exeter in partnership with the Devon Faith and Belief Forum as one of the Inter Faith Week 2019 events in the city.

Local Muslims from a range of backgrounds invited members of the public to go along and chat over refreshments with the aim of building bridges, dispelling myths and showing the diversity within Islam.
None of the Muslims present claimed to be experts on Islam but they were very willing to talk about their faith from their own perspective and answer questions as best they could.

Throughout the morning there was non-stop chatter and at the end of the event people were still enjoying each other's company and getting to know each other.
