Islamist Groups Mount 911 PR Campaign

September 1, 2010

By BEILA RABINOWITZ

September 1, 2010 - San Francisco, CA - PipeLineNews.org - Muslims are cynically exploiting the commemoration of 911 to mount a nation-wide PR campaign called "Muslim Serve Initiative." The program is endorsed by among others CAIR [Council on American Islamic Relations] an un-indicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation Hamas funding trial in which the defendants were found guilty on all 108 counts.

According to "A Call to Action" on the ISNA [also an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation prosecution] website Muslims should exploit 911 via public service and "interfaith" [dawa - Islamic proselytizing] activities in order to generate positive news reportage.

"All eyes will be on us this Eid and on 9/11. We can imagine what the headlines will be out of New York and Florida. But can you imagine the power of a headline or TV news story that features American Muslims as citizens, giving back to our country?

During the weekend of 9/11, please dedicate some of your time and energy to:

Participate in a 9/11 commemoration event taking place in your city

Volunteer in a local homeless shelter or food pantry

Clean up a local park, highway or beach

Bring donations of food and/or toys to soup kitchens or homeless shelters

Visit your local churches, synagogues and temples to share offerings and well wishes for Eid"[source, http://www.isna.net/articles/News/Join-Nation-Wide-Muslim-Serve-Initiative-on-9-11.aspx]

In addition to CAIR, ISNA's initiative is being endorsed by other American Islamist groups including the Muslim American Society, the Muslim Public Affairs Council and the Islamic Circle of North America.
