Michigan mosques welcome non-Muslims
WASHINGTON — Mosques in the U.S. state of Michigan held their doors
wide open for non-Muslim visitors on Saturday, October 17, in a day to
celebrate the diverse American society and build bridges of
understanding with the broader community.
"The Open House is designed to emphasize commonalities between the
Abrahamic faiths," Rashid Taufiq, organizer of the event, told
IslamOnline.net.
Sponsored by the umbrella Council of Islamic Organizations in Michigan
(CIOM), the "Meet your Muslim Neighbor: Sharing our Common Heritage"
event took place in eight mosques across the region.
The mosques encourage non-Muslims to visit and tour the Muslim houses
of worship as part of a coordinated initiative to promote better
understanding of the Noble Qu’ran and Islam.
"For most of our guests, we expect this will be their first visit to a
mosque," said Taufiq.
