"A bad thing happened, we saw it on TV.My friends at school point fingers, they say the baddies look just like me.Could this be true? Is this what Muslims do?"
Join Iqra on a journey of discovery as she comes to terms with Islamophobia at school and strengthens her faith in Islam.
Iqra is intended to be a resource for Muslim parents to begin addressing the topics of terrorism and islamophobia with their children. It was created in recognition that this is a growing issue in our communities and a topic we need to equip our children to talk about in a meaningful and constructive manner. Not only will the next generation be exposed to anti-muslim attitudes through the media and wider public opinion, they are also at greater risk than ever of being exposed to radical ideas and being radicalised themselves. The book aims to be a starting point for a much broader conversation and is by no means a comprehensive resource.
