Today, thousands of UK Muslims are converging on the city of Manchester for ExpoIslamia – a convention that promises to present Islam to Muslims and non-Muslims in its clearest and most original form using artists, comedians and guest speakers, including one who has said that, if he had the chance, he would sacrifice himself as a suicide bomber in Israel.

The day-long event, bearing the theme – "A Call to Humanity," – is the fifth in a series of ExpoIslamia conventions held across the UK.

"Whilst a few espouse a 'Clash of Civilizations,' the vast majority who believe in the innate goodness of humanity need to raise their voice," the organizers say on their website.
