| A Side To Islam The Establishment Tries To Cover Up |
The exhibition that was launched in 2006, aims to build bridges between local communities by offering young people the opportunity to talk to Muslims and to experience aspects of the Islamic way of life.
Visitors took part in a variety of interactive activities, sampled traditional foods and were encouraged to ask questions.
Gina Cussack, student engagement coordinator for Shrewsbury College, said the day had gone very well.
