Salaams, my name's Laura. I work for a Muslim organisation and am also writing my ma dissertation on Islamophobia. Both have opened my eyes to the hatred, violence and ignorance of the EDL. I want to be part of the solution to making society stronger and fighting against bigotry, with Muslim and non-Muslim side by side. This forum is a great way of doing just that and learning more from each other. I know it can be tough to keep bouncing back from the interactions but I hope this community will provide motivation for us all to keep going, inshaAllah. :)

Peace

Salaams James,
Thank you for the suggestion - I will, iA, give it a go when I'm a bit further along with my research! The link was sent to me at work, on a circular email I think. I have also passed it on to others :)
