Dutch Young Muslims Hand out Free Qurans
With this action they hope to counterbalance the negative image of Islam formed by actions by terrorist organization ISIS and extremists’ attacks, Het Parool reported
“Our major goal is that in ten to fifteen years all hotel rooms will also have a Quran alongside a Bible.” Ali Hori of the Alkhattab Foundation told the newspaper. The Alkhattab Foundation tries to spread information about Islam in a modern way through lectures.
The thirteen Dutch cities include the four major cities – Amsterdam, Rotterdam, The Hague and Utrecht – as well as smaller cities like Nijmegen, Heerlen, Lelystad and Breda.
The mainly young Muslim volunteers found sponsors themselves so that they could buy the Qurans. The initiative is sponsored by Islamic Center Midway in Rotterdam.
