What’s a think tank?

Australia’s only Islamic Think Tank…
FAIR was established in 2003 after the impact of the 911 when there was a growing concern for the widespread misconceptions about Muslims and the general mistrust of Muslims as a whole. FAIR works within civil society to change attitudes towards Islam and build a more cohesive nation. The Think Tank is a part of the process to build more understanding around the issues and to be better able to deal and pave forward solutions to some of these problems. The Think Tank involves a number of thought leaders, academics and community activists coming together and analysing issues, themes and ideas in society and offering discussion papers to stimulate thought and discussion. FAIR will focus on issues and ideas surrounding the Muslim community in Australia.
