2004 Theme

The theme for IAW 2004 was 'Your Muslim Neighbour' and highlighted the often unnoticed contribution made by Muslim neighbours, co-workers and citizens in enriching British society. At the heart of the year's activities was the desire to bring British communities together in neighbourliness and understanding.

These projects aimed to build bridges and break down misconceptions, harnessing the very strong ethos within Islamic teachings relating to taking care of one's environment and one's neighbours - our common concerns.

2004’s launch was at Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre where, as part of the theatre’s Shakespeare and Islam season, there were readings, recitals, lectures a souk and other special events.
