Japan Free Iftars Welcome Ramadan
Welcoming the holy fasting month of Ramadan, Japanese Muslims are offering free iftars at the country’s largest mosque to Muslims and non-Muslims to introduce them to the Islamic culture.
“(Fasting) allows me to improve myself,” Benjdi El Mehdi, 27, a student from Morocco who was eagerly anticipating the meal, told The Japan Times.
“In fact, it is fun.”

UK Muslims share Ramadan with homeless
We want this Ramadan campaign to challenge some of the misconceptions people have about Islam,” Omar Salha, an alumnus of the University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS), said.
"But it's also about connecting with all communities on a more humanistic level. "It's only right that as Muslims and Londoners we serve the wider London community in the spirit of Ramadan," he added.
The special iftars, held at Ramadan Tent in SOAS in Bloomsbury, central London, were first suggested by Salha, an activist in Muslim volunteer activities across Britain.
