Seeing ignorance as the worst enemy of nations, the Muslim community in Australia’s third largest state has decided to open their mosques to offer their neighbors better understanding of Islam, to change people’s misperceptions about their faith.

“We want to hold Queensland Mosque Day and it will be one day when people can come all day, on one day from next year. There will be food and information sessions,” Ali Kadri, a spokesman for the Holland Park and Logan Islamic communities in Queensland, told Brisbane Times on Friday, September 19.

“I am going to announce that Friday. Tomorrow I will announce the date.”

The idea of open sessions was announced 24 hours after major anti-terror raids were carried out in Sydney and Brisbane, with police claiming to have foiled planned attacks on Australians.

They also come after up to 40 pamphlets filled with abusive, anti-Muslim language, were reportedly left outside the Logan mosque earlier this month.

“The problem is that if we can't teach Muslims the proper meaning of Islam, then they will learn from YouTube, where it is heavily biased against the proper teaching of Islam by the extremists,” he said.“So we want people to come to the mosques to learn the proper meaning of Islam.
