Mobile Exhibition Arrives in Saskatchewan to End Islamophobia
A trailer full of volunteers has been stopping in communities across Canada in an attempt to spread a positive message about Islam and clear up misconceptions about the faith.
The van departed from Halifax on July 10 and arrives in Regina on Tuesday.
Zeeshan Ahmed, An Imam from Regina, told CBC's The Afternoon Edition anyone with questions is encouraged to visit the trailer.
"We want to clear this misconception that Islam is no longer going to be hijacked by extremists," Ahmed said. "True Muslims that are peaceful by heart will actually spread the message of peace to our fellow Canadians and our fellow neighbors."
The trailer will be in Regina's Victoria Park from 9 a.m. CST to noon on Tuesday, and from noon to 6 p.m. in front of the Cornwall Centre.
"Without any hesitations, they can ask us any questions about Islam, about women's issues in Islam, about jihad," he said.
There will also be a stop in Moose Jaw on Aug. 10, and Saskatoon on Aug. 11.
