Hawzah News Agency (Australia, Hobart)-A group of Muslims have delivered leaflets to houses in Hobart in an effort to reducing hatred and ignorance directed towards their faith.

Muslim community Tasmanian state president Doctor Aamir Mahmoud said he hoped the campaign would change the way people think about and interact with Muslims.

"You've just got through what's happening in the world ... there are images, not good images regarding Muslims that they are not good to their country," he said.

"We want to express from our words, from our deeds, from our actions that whatever the other people are saying, they are wrong.

"When I came in 2010, most of the people were afraid to talk to me, to come to me," he said.

"(I hope) to change the mind of people. To get very clear concept to them that if some people or a group of people or a person is doing something wrong, it should not be related to every person."

Move sparked by rise of One Nation, Reclaim Australia parties

Imam of the Muslim Community in Victoria and Tasmania, Wadood Janud, agreed the campaign was aimed at promoting peace, through education.

"With the rise of One Nation, Reclaim Australia, a lot of people think that Muslims have a personal agenda," he said.

"We understand where that kind of stereotype comes from, but we want to do our part in taking away that stereotype, through such campaigns."

"Loving and serving the country of your residence is a part of your faith."

The Muslims for Peace campaign was born several years ago and has since spread across the United States, United Kingdom and Europe.

"People have been coming out and saying 'we didn't know that this was what Muslims believe in'," he said.
