Outnumbered:Too many Muslims, too many demands? | Lucy Bushill Matthews | TEDxGuildford

All schoolchildren have to figure out how to get along. Yet Muslim classmates can seem so different. Sharing deep insights from her personal research, Lucy Bushill-Matthews explores the hopes and needs of Muslim schoolchildren, considers how much children are tolerating difference or going beyond tolerance, and discovers that we are all part of the solution. Lucy was aged sixteen when she met a Muslim for the first time. Whilst going on to study Economics at Cambridge University, she looked into Christianity and Islam, and unexpectedly found herself compelled by what she found to make a life-changing decision about her faith. Lucy now heads up Strategy, Policy and Research for the National Zakat Foundation, a thought-leading Muslim organisation in the UK. Lucy is author of "Welcome to Islam-a convert's tale" and has been a regular columnist in Emel lifestyle magazine. Separately, Lucy co-founded and ran a madrasah (Muslim after-school group) for many years, and now co-leads a youth group that teaches Muslim children and teenagers to think about their faith in context, and engage with it intellectually, practically, and through service to others. Lucy has 3 teenagers and a kitten who loves walking over the keyboard. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
