The convertday is a meeting that is held for converts to Islam. This kind of meeting takes place every year in various locations in the Benelux area. During a convertday the life of a convert in the west is often the Central theme. This gives the converts the possibility to exchange experiences.
The first convertday was held by the organisations al-Minara and De koepel in the Belgium city Antwerpen. The Dutch convertday is held by the organisations Ontdek Islam and the Landelijk Platform Nieuwe Moslims. During the Dutch convertday many famous international converts came as speaker like Khalid Yasin and . The speach of Khalid Yasin lead to discussions in the Dutch parlement. The Freedom Party of Geert Wilders wanted to forbid that edition of the convertday.
