The Muslim community in Cork has invited people to ask them whatever questions they would like about their religion or way of life at a special Islamic ‘open-door’ event in Cork this weekend.

Ali Hamou, one of the event organisers, said they plan to throw open the doors to their religion and way of life at the Islamic cultural exhibition in the city’s Imperial Hotel in the hope of dispelling myths, shattering misconceptions and building understanding.
