Challenging Islamophobia 

The Mariam Mosque seeks to challenge islamophobia through the dissemination of new narratives about Islam, both internationally and nationally, in books, articles and public debates, lectures and interviews. The Danish debate about Islam over the last ten years has often been and is still borne by threat arguments, based on fear and feelings rather than logic and common sense. Scientists, politicians, and writers could easily manipulate a “truth” that Christianity is misogynistic, hateful towards women, even warlike, if they systematically resorted to quote specific verses from the Bible that reduces the woman to a subordinate role in contrast to the man – or Jesus’ ‘sword verse’ in the New Testament.
