Jews and Muslims: Breaking the Barrier |
We need to consider how the enduring virtues of the great faiths can be used to build a shared community
in terms of mutual respect, openness, trust, dignity, and responsibility. To bring much needed clarity,
the Jewish Council for Racial Equality in conjunction with the Jewish Quarterly has organised a series of
'CONVERSATIONS', in which leading thinkers and commentators reflect on the key issues and challenges facing
today's multicultural Britain.

ISLAM AWARENESS WEEK |
British Muslims are a diverse and vibrant
community contributing to the well-being and prosperity of this
nation in numerous ways. Yet, despite their important and varied
contribution, they suffer significantly from various forms of
discrimination, harassment and violence. These problems are rooted
and find justification in ill-informed and stereotyped
representations of Islam and Muslims.
Islam Awareness Week will be celebrated in Camden with a range of
talks and discussions as well as a visual exhibition which will
rotate to various venues around the borough in the coming months.
The programme's objectives are to inform, educate, raise awareness
and celebrate the depth and diversity of Islam in Camden and Britain
at large.
