Welsh Parliament Debates Islamophobia and Misconceptions About Islam

By Abdullahi Yusuf

A discussion on Islamophobia and misconceptions about the teachings of Islam has been held in the Welsh Parliament.

Organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association UK, the event was titled Islam & The West: Clash of Civilisations?

With more than 80 guests in attendance, the event began with a welcome message from the host, Member of the Welsh Parliament Altaf Hussain, followed by a social experiment video that sparked conversation about misconceptions of Islam.

Stephen Hiles, one of the attendees, said: “The event was very informative and far too short as we couldn’t go through too much.”

Another guest, Zac, added: “I would like to see more of such events as they are really important, especially in the current political climate.”

The discussion built on the success of a previous Islam & The West: Clash of Civilizations? event held in the House of Commons.

Through events like these, AMYA UK says it aims to bridge communities, tackle prejudice, and promote the true, peaceful teachings of Islam.
