Westerners ask about a myriad of topics or matters of concern

17 years ago

Since 1st August 2006, Sats/Mons/Weds between 5pm-8pm in response to innumerous enquiries from non-Muslim Westerners speaking English, a Government Ministry provides a confidential 'Q & A' line to call Kuwait 2417117 and 'Ask the Grand Mosque'.

Westerners enjoy free internet access to check email during visits and obtain facts more quickly about the way of life or local customs, by speaking to its welcoming Western staff with a similar mind-set, in the Centre that is open to serve them. Visitors often marvel at the beautiful architecture and book ahead for Grand Mosque Guided Tours in English.

Why? Non-Muslim Westerners ask about a myriad of topics or matters of concern. For example, on how Islam relates
to their friends, family or career in the Gulf. Questions on local culture, customs, amenities, the rights of women, inheritance, accommodation, salaries, property, marriage, divorce, child-rearing, praying or schooling. "Kuwait will become a shining example of moderation for the world." declared Abdullah Al-Maatouq, Minister of Awqaf & Islamic Affairs, optimistically when opening the first out of five centres. People emailed me asking to post this as a topic.
