The local chapter of the Canadian Muslim Leadership Institute held a discussion Sunday to talk about whether there are limits to expressive rights.
A conversation cafe at the University of Manitoba explored the Muslim faith and freedom of expression.
It was organized following discussions that came out of the Charlie Hebdo attack.
The group spent the lunch hour voicing and listening to different perspectives to better understand how freedom of expression affects the faith.
"If you subscribe to one opinion, you can open your mind to the other. Not to say that someone needs to change way they think, but at least to understand,” said Shahzad Musaddiq of the CMLI. “In Canada I think we have an attitude of understanding, and that's something we want to promote at the leadership institute"
The panel at the conversation café included political representatives, journalists, and members from Winnipeg's Muslim community.
