Festival Corrects Islam Perceptions in UK

British Muslims are organizing a four-day conference to celebrate `Eid Al-Fitr which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan, offering Muslims an opportunity for an expected 4,500 attendees to discuss the issues pertinent to them in contemporary Britain.

"British Muslims are a broad range of people, they're not just interested in one thing,” Dilwar Hussain, one of the organizers of the Islamic Society of Britain event, told the Guardian.

The four-day festival has won the praise from a wide range of attendees who included Muslim leaders and non-Muslim speakers such as former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams.

At the event, Williams gave a talk entitled "What do British values look like and is there room for Muslims?"

“The setting-up therefore of British values against any kind of values, whether Muslim or Christian, just won't do," he said.

He told the Guardian Living Islam was "a very important event. I've thought for a long time that voices of young professional Muslims aren't heard enough."

Nadia Ishtiaq, a young professional Muslim from London, said Williams' words resonated with her. She and her husband were camping with their two daughters for the first time after chancing upon details of the event online.
