There are many misunderstandings about Islam and what Muslims believe. In order to avoid prejudices against Muslim communities, Bristol City Council published a booklet of frequently asked questions, and Myths and facts about Muslims in Bristol and Britain.
Project Goal
Islam is one of the main faiths practised in Britain today. Since 9/11 and the London bombings in July 2005 there has been a rise in Islamophobia. Myths about Islam and Muslims are common. The overall objective of the booklet is to promote better understanding and community cohesion.
