Muslim group hits out at Qur’an exhibition organisers

A ROW has broken out over an exhibition about the Muslim holy book, the Qur’an.

A Muslim group has accused the exhibition’s organisers of ‘hijacking the Muslim identity’.

The event organised by the Ahmadiyya Muslim Association is being held at Dewsbury Town Hall tomorrow.

But members of Kirklees Muslim Action Committee said the group had no right to put on an exhibition about the Qur’an, saying they were non-Muslims.

Committee member Dr Abid Hussain said: “We object strongly to the fact that a small minority are telling people about the Holy Qur’an when they are not even Muslims.” [Mirfield Reporter] Read more [via Butterflies and Wheels]
