London is probably the most diverse and vibrant city in the world. Many different cultures call London their home, but what unites us as Londoners?

One in eight Londoners are Muslim, but how much is known about London’s Muslim communities? And how much do they know about Humanism? Is there a common ground? What diversity exists amongst Muslims in London? What is changing? Can we see beyond our differences? How can we work together?

This evening of discussion is a unique opportunity to address these questions and others you may wish to ask.

Alom Shaha, author of “The Young Atheists Handbook”, will be in conversation with:

• Mamadou Bocoum – Public Relations Officer for the Sharia Council
• Sara Khan – Co-Founder and Director of the human rights charity Inspire.
• Yasmin Rehman – Justice & Strategy Manager for the charity Women’s Aid and researcher into polygamy and the law.
• Huda Jawad – Advisor at the Centre for Academic Shi’s Studies and research Coordinator for Solace Women’s Aid.

Organised by London Humanists in association with Conway Hall Ethical Society and the British Humanist Association as part of InterFaith week.

DOORS OPEN AT 18.30 FOR A 19.00 START.

ALL WELCOME – PLEASE BRING AN OPEN MIND
