200 mosques across UK to welcome Britons this weekend

Visit My Mosque event aims to dispel myths about Islam, Muslims

A yearly event which welcomes citizens in mosques across the U.K opened on Thursday with the aim to initiate interfaith dialogue.

Visit My Mosque, the brainchild of the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB), the largest group representing the community in the U.K., began in 2015.

The opening ceremony at the Muslim Cultural Heritage Centre in central London engaged the audience in a question and answer session.

The panel of speakers included Secretary General of the MCB Harun Khan, Labour MP Emma Dent and Councillor Gerard Hargreaves of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea.
