In Dunedin’s Octagon yesterday, working to remove misunderstandings surrounding Islam are (from left) Haris Ahmed, Imam Mustenser Qamar, Rafay Basharat and Arsalan Mahmod. That is why a group of Muslims took to Dunedin streets yesterday encouraging people to ask them anything over a cup of coffee. The group will take to the streets in each city wearing T-shirts saying "I’m a Muslim ask me anything" and "Meet a Muslim". A coffee and cake session will be set up at a nearby cafe for people to have a chat and ask questions about Islam. Mr Al-Zafar said it was better for people to ask questions rather than continue to hold incorrect views about Islam.
