9/11 and being a Welsh Muslim

BBC Radio Wales - All Things Considered, 9/11 and being a Welsh Muslim

Azim Ahmed examines how the 9/11 terror attacks shaped the Muslim community in Wales.

Azim Ahmed looks at the legacy of 9/11 from the perspective of the Muslim community in Wales.

As we mark twenty years since the 9/11 terror attacks: tragic events which changed the world, and continue to affect us today, Azim Ahmed explores the legacy of this event from the perspective of the Muslim community here in Wales. 

Twenty years ago, British Muslims found themselves  at the centre of extra scrutiny: there were questions about whether the politics of the hijackers were shared by Muslims here in Wales and whether the Twin Tower attacks were the beginning of an inevitable clash of civilisations between East and West. 

There was also an increase in hostility and Islamophobia, as Muslims became a suspect community. We hear from members of the Muslim community who experienced this prejudice. 

This crisis also led to positive change, with new initiatives, organisations, and an appetite for greater understanding between communities and religions. We hear how this inter-faith dialogue led to the foundation of the 'Wales Faith Communities Forum' which thrives today, and the foundation of the 'Muslim Council for Wales' to unify the faith community.
