Are you curious what true Islam is if it’s not the one represented by Muslim extremists and non-Muslims Islamophobes?
Would you like to know how Islam helps to achieve human excellence, the tranquillity of mind and contentment of soul, as opposed to hatred, extremism and violence?
If so, then you’ve reached the right place: Welcome to PeaceQuest!
PeaceQuest is a unique non-profit striving to understand the root causes of bigotry, prejudice, hatred and violence. PeaceQuest looks into various psychological, philosophical and political theories to understand the different aspects of inter-group tensions that lead to discrimination and violence.
PeaceQuest strives to remove doubts, fear and misconceptions that lead to Islamophobia, anti-Semitism, homophobia as well as other ideologies of hate. We create content that dispels myths in order to cultivate social change by promoting compassion and countering hatred.
PeaceQuest widens the understanding of the psychological roots of factors that create destructive inter-group relations – e.g., intolerance and exclusion.
PeaceQuest explores the role of Islam in shaping human attitudes towards peace and equality on one hand. And on the other hand, selfish materialistic ideologies which are constantly pitting people against each other.
As a believer in “bottom-up” processes and the power of people to create social change, PeaceQuest disseminates knowledge that inspires personal and social change towards achieving human excellence, harmony, and peace.
We appreciate your feedback and contribution.
