"Understanding Islam" is the title of a bridge-building inter-faith event in Coleraine tomorrow.
Now Muslims here often feel unfairly under the spotlight because of Islamic extremist terrorist attacks, most recently in London.
Their faith is also characterised by some outsiders as dogmatic and authoritarian.

But free seminars at Coleraine Methodist Church Hall all day tomorrow, lead by Christian theologian Dr. Chris Hewer, will offer the chance to learn more about Muslims and to bust myths.
Christine Turner is one of the organisers:
