Magazine & TV | sTyle.kiwi CLOSE TO 40 different ethnic groups represent the Muslim community in the city. Community worker Dr Husaini Hafiz said that the city’s 3250 Muslims did not suffer from the same levels of Islamophobia experienced by Muslims in Europe and the United States, but racial and religious prejudices can exist everywhere. Dr Hafiz said the Canterbury Muslim Community Trust is building cultural and religious bridges by reaching out to the city’s Muslims and the wider non-Muslim community. “We would like to ensure that Christchurch remains a good place to live for all, which means taking steps to foster better understanding between different groups,” he said. Dr Hafiz said many people assumed that the Muslim community in Christchurch was homogenous with the same cultural practices and religious beliefs. He said, in reality, the Muslim community in Christchurch was very diverse. The trust’s outreach programmes are run jointly with the Islamic Women’s Council New Zealand. ICWNZ member Denise Jeager said the inclusion of Muslim women in the outreach programme was essential to show Muslim women had a voice and they were willing to exercise it. ICWNZ volunteer Nada Tawfeek said the outreach programme was useful to bring about more open-minded views of Muslim women. “Some people were surprised to hear a girl in hijab speak with a British accent,” she said. Dr Hafiz said focus groups run in Canterbury had style noun elegance and sophistication. synonyms: flair, grace, poise, polish, suaveness, urbanity, chic, finesse, taste, class, comfort, luxury, affluence, wealth, opulence, lavishness. identified three common concerns amongst Muslims in Christchurch: leadership, communication and lack of Islamic knowledge. One of the trust’s goals was to address the need for stronger communication channels between Muslims and non-Muslim communities. Last July, the trust invited students from New Zealand Broadcasting School to join in the breaking of fast at the Al- Noor mosque in Christchurch. The invitation was a followup to an earlier educational session where the students were introduced to basic concepts of Islam and the impact of the media on Muslims. This year a similar educational session was offered to student journalists at the University of Canterbury and Ara Institute of Canterbury. Office of Ethnic Communities’ general manager, Maarten Quivooy, said organisations such as the Canterbury Muslim Trust play a “vital role” in educating and supporting New Zealanders to embrace and celebrate the benefits that diversity brings to us all.” Easy PErsonal Cash loans $$ FroM $600 - $20,000 $ Apply on line now – FAst ApprovAl we can say yes when the Banks say NO CAll Us now FreepHone 0800 340 350 Apply on line todAy At www.faircity.co.nz 2017 Avalon River Cruising on Sale Magnificent Europe Budapest to Amsterdam 14 Night Deluxe River Cruise Early Bird Offer $4,000 Air Credit Per Couple Romantic Rhine Amsterdam to Zurich 7 Night Deluxe River Cruise Early Bird Offer $3,000 Air Credit Per Couple from $7,339 * pp Twin share based on 27 Oct 2017 category E from $3,998 * pp Twin share based on 9 Apr 2017 category E YOU Travel Tower Junction 3/4 Troup Drive, Addington 03 341 8965 sandra@youtowerjunction.co.nz YOU Travel Ferrymead 960 Ferry Road 03 384 2700 melissa@youferrymead.co.nz *Terms & Conditions: All care is taken to promote correct pricing at time of printing, is dependent upon availability and will be confirmed at time of reservation.
