Join in solidarity as Muslims reach out

Posted August 20, 2011 5:00 am

We are engaged in an aggressive campaign to combat terrorism by showing our love for life and commitment toward this freedom-loving nation; we too stand united with our fellow citizens. While misconceptions about Islam and its true followers continue to grow with extremists spreading such debris, we are making progress in uniting mankind.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Community USA has launched a campaign in this spirit. This 9/11 anniversary, as we commemorate the lives of 3,000 Americans lost, we have arranged to conduct a blood drive that will collect 10,000 bags of blood nationwide. We extend our hands toward all Americans to join the “Muslims for Life” campaign (www.muslimsforlife.com). Join us in this effort — in the spirit of unity and honoring the sanctity of life.
