Not far from one of Scandinavia’s biggest shopping malls, Kashif Virk stood on the pavement(人行道), handing out flyers(传单) and smiling at those who passed by. On a cloudy Tuesday afternoon, the Swedish-born imam(伊玛目) had taken to the street(走上街头) to invite people to ask him anything they had ever wanted to know about Islam.
在斯堪的纳维亚最大的购物中心之一不远处，卡希夫·维克站在人行道上，一边分发传单，一边向路人微笑。在一个多云的周二下午，这位瑞典出生的伊玛目走上街头，邀请人们向他提出任何他们一直想了解的关于伊斯兰教的问题。
For years, Sweden’s far right has peddled(兜售、散布) its own, distorted view of Islam, portraying it as being at odds with(与……格格不入) Swedish values. The Ask-a-Muslim – or Fråga en Muslim – campaign, conceived(构想、发起) by Virk in 2017, was his way of fighting back.
多年来，瑞典极右翼一直在兜售自己对伊斯兰教的扭曲看法，将其描绘成与瑞典价值观格格不入。2017年，维克发起了“问穆斯林”（瑞典语：Fråga en Muslim）活动，以此作为反击的方式。
With the help of dozens of volunteers from the Ahmadi Muslim community(艾哈迈迪穆斯林社区), the campaign had called in at more than 150 farmers markets, squares and city centres, inviting strangers to strike up a conversation(攀谈起来) in hopes of dispelling myths(消除误解) and shedding light on(阐明、揭示) Islam.
在艾哈迈迪穆斯林社区数十名志愿者的帮助下，这项活动已经走访了150多个农夫市集、广场和市中心，邀请陌生人攀谈，希望借此消除误解，让人们了解伊斯兰教。
