WHAT IF WE HAD A WAY TO LET PEOPLE EXPERIENCE ISLAM IN ITS TRUE COLORS?
The Islam Experience Centre (IXC) is a private initiative from the Islamic community from The Netherlands. The idea of “doing something” about the growing gap between Muslims and non-Muslims came about a few years ago. Over the years, both the moral and financial support for the project grew and finally the organization was a fact.
The IXC focuses on promoting understanding and empathy between different population groups. This is done by focusing on religious and cultural literacy.
Removing inaccurate ideas and fears about Islam, by pointing to the positive historical practice and entering into a constructive dialogue, form the fundamental principles in this regard. The aim is to contribute to a more harmonious society. A necessary goal in these times of polarization and radicalization.

“The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is like a seed [of grain] which grows seven spikes; in each spike is a hundred grains. And Allah multiplies [His reward] for whom He wills. And Allah is all-Encompassing and Knowing.” [Quran 2:261]
