Looking for Common Ground

London Humanists groups in association with Conway Hall Ethical Society and the British Humanist Association as part of Interfaith Week presents Looking for Common Ground: How can Humanists and Muslims live and work together in 21st Century London? All welcome and please bring an open mind. London is probably the most diverse and vibrant city in the world. One in eight of our fellow Londoners is a Muslim but how much do we know about London’s Muslim communities? And how much do they know about Humanism? Is there 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 – From the Centre for Secular Space and researcher into polygamy and the law. Huda Jawad – Advisor at the Centre for Academic Shi’a Studies and Research Coordinator for Solace Women’s Aid. The event is free to attend and open to all but we will ask for donations on the door to cover our costs we ask you to give what you personally can afford. The evening is organised jointly by London Humanists groups in association with Conway Hall Ethical Society and the BHA as part of Interfaith Week. In the first half of the evening each speaker will be in a one to one conversation with Alom Shaha. Then everyone will form a panel and take questions from the audience. The evening will conclude around 9.30 p.m. Please register your intention to attend via Eventbrite this is free to do so and important so we know how many intend to attend. Doors at 18.30 for 19.00
