Holladay, MINA – Utahns of all faiths got a chance to understand the Muslim culture a little better thanks to the first annual Muslim Heritage Festival held in Holladay Saturday afternoon.
Holladay City Hall hosted the event where Muslims proudly displayed their contributions over the centuries to the world of art, science and education, Good4utah reported.
Suryani Omar, Al-Mustafa Foundation of Utah, said you cannot appreciate the diversity until you understand the culture better.
“This is what we want to do,” Omar said. “To see people come here and see this is what we’ve done to get to know us better in a comfortable setting.”
