Over 200 Attend Tennessee Islamic Center’s Open Mosque Day
It was the annual Open Mosque Day.
Organizers said the event is an opportunity to debunk common stereotypes about the Islamic faith as well as address the dangers of Islamophobia.
More than 200 people attended the event. Visitors had a chance to try different activities like a virtual reality experience, get a henna design, and ask important questions.
"When people come together we can find out that yes there are differences, but more commonalities. And based on the commonalities as I mentioned to the audience we can work together. People of different faiths, cultures, nationalities, races to build better societies," director of GainPeace, Sabeel Ahmed, said.
If anyone wasn't able to attend the event, Ahmed said they are always invited to reach out to the Islamic Center if they have any questions.
