Many thanks to the Cheadle Muslim Association who welcomed 1st Gatley Cubs to their mosque a couple of weeks ago.  As well as a tour of the mosque, we had a presentation from Mr Mirza and snacks all round.

In the presentation, the Cubs learned something about Islam, with the emphasis on the many similarities with Christianty and Judaism.  Mr Mirza was keen to point out how some practices associated with Islam, such as forced marriage, are cultural and have no religious basis.

Cheadle Muslim Association is always keen to open their doors and engage with the local community. They ran sports training in the recent inter-faith week (there’s a small football pitch and cricket nets in the grounds) and frequently have visits from school groups.
