The Town of Dudley has been asked by the Worcester Islamic Center for permission to purchase land and establish a cemetery in that town. The controversy has been covered extensively in the media recently.

Asima Silva has been requested to bring a Muslim panel to the town of Dudley to make a presentation on the principles of Islam and discuss Islamophobia. The presentation will be given on Thursday, April 28 at the First Congregational Church in Dudley. The event should be covered in the Telegram and Gazette on Friday, April 29.

Join us for an open forum on Islam to learn about the beliefs and practices of the religion as well as what life is like for Muslims living in the USA during a time of heightened Islamophobia.
