Mosques Open Their Doors To Tackle Prejudice

Mosques across Britain have opened their doors to visitors for the second national Visit My Mosque day, described by organisers as an attempt to reach out beyond "hostile headlines". The Muslim Council of Britain says 80 or 90 of the UK's estimated 1,500 mosques took part, more than three times as many as last year. Some mosques offered tea and refreshments, while others welcomed visitors with piles of leaflets.
