Islam is not a religion of extremism. ‘Islamic terrorists!’, ‘Muslim Fundamentalists!’, ‘Extremists!’, ‘Radical Islamists!’, etc-these are just some labels that have been wrongly applied to Muslims and certain Muslim groups in recent years. The media’s portrayal of Islam often misleads those whose knowledge of the religion is limited, into making negative assumptions about this very peaceful and tolerant way of life. Just because of ISIS, all Muslims should not be considered as terrorists or extremists. This exhibition will give the visitors the clear picture as to what Islam is and about Muslims.
Hey aNNA from Yumreeka,
This is a MUST-ATTEND event for you. So, dya plan to ‘fly down’ on your magic carpet?
“The event is aimed at getting mankind from darkness to light; the light of knowledge and wisdom” – Report.
Ok, interesting. Now that they have done it many other societies, next target is Puttur, I guess. I also see a group of students learning about human biology at this event. Very interesting. I agree that ISIS has nothing to do with Islam. As I have said before, ISIS stands for “International Society for Idli Sambaar’. We should target Idli Sambaar for spreading so much hatred and violence.
