Well, I think, look, you go to our websites, you go to whyislam.org, you come to Yaqeen's website, yaqeenastud.org, you go to multiple Islamic websites to get those questions answered. But there's nothing like going to a mosque. There's nothing like actually going to a mosque and meeting Muslims and asking questions.

Meet people from different backgrounds and ask questions. Muslims love to be asked, by the way, about their faith because they're so sick of hearing other people talk about it. So Muslims love to be asked about their faith.
