Build Bridges for America

Assalamu Alaikum
Dear Muslim leader,

Muslims are going through a difficult phase of our community life as America continues to struggle with the fear of terrorism and an uncertain economy. Civil rights, immigration and diversity agendas are at the mercy of right-wing zealots.

The last thing Muslims want to do is to remain silent during the forthcoming season of high communication in America. The one year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks be taking place later this year. It will be followed by Ramadan, Eid, the Holiday season and Black History month. There will be plenty of opportunities for Muslims and our communities to interact with others.

I am writing this letter to introduce you to a six month-long campaign called “Build Bridges for America.” Its purpose is to enhance communication between Muslims and non Muslims in America.

Here are a set of ideas which you can use to get your Masjid or MSA started.

Wassalam
