"This is our second year for the MusliMeMfest. The reason we have the festival is to dispel wrong ideas about who we are and to open ourselves up as a community for folks to feel comfortable talking to us. Festival attendees can sample foods --- including sweets --- from our various cultures, enjoy a light show, watch an educational cartoon about science in Islam, buy clothing and other items, and ask questions of the local religious leader. We don’t want people to think of us as outsiders. We’re part of the fabric of the community. We work here, our kids go to school here, we have strong morals. I think people assume that we are 'other', but we are a part of Memphis too."  [MusliMeMfest 2017 will be held on Saturday, March 25, 10am - 6pm at the Agricenter International, 7777 Walnut Grove Road. Admission is free.]
