UNISON Northern Ireland

Understanding Islam (open to all)

Event Date: 
12 Apr 2018 - 18:00 to 20:00

UNISON Belfast

Members of the Muslim community make up 0.2% of the Northern Ireland population but experience a disproportionate amount of prejudice.  Media portrayal of the Islamic faith is often set only in the context of global unrest.  This workshop describes how Islam is both a religion and a peaceful way of life, to allow people from a diverse society to understand the meaning of Islam and Muslims and to dispel common myths and misconceptions.   It will be delivered by Brenda Skillen, NI Muslim Family Association.   This is being run in partnership with our Black & Migrant Workers group and is open to all.
