About 200 people attended a conference on Saturday in Calgary of Canada with a goal of addressing Islamophobia through dialogue.
The non-profit group “Think for Actions” organized the “Your Muslim Neighbour” day-long event.
It covered many themes on how to get people of all faiths to respect each other.
Mukarram Ali Zaidi, an assistant professor at University of Calgary says, a recent survey the group did revealed numbers that might be surprising to some non-Muslims.
The research indicates about 97% of Muslims in Calgary identify as both proud Canadians and proud Muslims.
Zaidi added that myths can sometimes be taken as facts by some people; they are all proving to be wrong by the survey.
