Brilio.net/en - Islamophobia is still a major issue in some places where some people often relate Islam with terrorism. Yes, it is all because of the barbarous extremist militants who often cause terrors around the world in the name of Islam. People therefore often negatively judge the religion and also people who embrace it. As a result, many anti-Islam protests have emerged in several countries.

But, there is a moving story in the most unlikely places an Anti-Islam rally from the Flemish Interest Group in the city of Antwerp, Belgium. A hijab-wearing Zakia Belkhiri who happened to be passing the march, approached them to take selfies. Zakias actions have been regarded as a brilliant act to reverse the negative stigma about Islam.

Good job.. Islam is beautiful religion... White heart for your brain... Islam always taught me about "Reconcilement," praised a netizen Gian Lee as quoted by brilio.net/en from Telesur, Saturday (21/5).

Brave, creative, tolerant, peaceful and beautiful. True Muslim's character, Ali added.

Here are the photos of Zaskia taking cheeky selfies with the protesters:
