01About the Event

ILKE Foundation invites you to engage in a discussion about the future of Palestine. Join us for a face-to-face seminar entitled " Activism in the Time of Gaza Genocide and Its Impact on Islamophobia". We will explore how anti-Zionist and pro-Palestinian actions, protests, and demonstrations have united people across religious and cultural boundaries.


The solidarity shown by non-Muslims in the US and Europe, who have supported Muslims in resistance, is particularly noteworthy. The seminar will examine the potential impact of these actions to transform Islamophobia, including how they have led to the conversion of many people to Islam.


Muhammad Al Attar will provide a first-hand account of activism's evolution and current trajectory, having been one of the pioneers of Palestinian actions in the USA.


Khaled Beydoun, an expert in Islamophobia and international law, will analyse how global activism can challenge and reshape Islamophobic narratives that are prevalent in the US and Europe.
