“People are willing to listen. When they learn about Islam, they realize that there is very little that they know themselves,. Talk to a Muslim who practices his faith and you will be very comfortable."

British Columbians who have found themselves with unanswered questions about Islam can now pursue a greater understanding of the religion by having a personal conversation, and a hot drink, with a local Muslim.
As part of the Coffee & Islam campaign, Canadian Muslims are making themselves available to anybody with an inquisitive mind to sit down in a coffee shop and talk about their faith. Officially launched in November, people like Tariq Azeem, a Missionary Ahmadiyya Muslim living in Vancouver, have been hosting these meetings for over a year.
Azeem is a congregation leader for the Muslim community in this city, and like all of the volunteers with Coffee & Islam, everything he does, he does for free.
