This year is the 10th year after September 11 attack in year 2001. This year September 11 falls on Sunday. Many churches and other organizations are planning to “memorialize” the remembrance of the 10th anniversary of 9/11.

Every city, big and small in America will remember that radical Muslims attacked America and killed nearly 3,000 Americans. Media, newspapers and radio station will use this time to demonize Muslims and Islam. We American Muslims may face heightened threats on our places of worship.

We recommend that you help to negate this anti-Muslim, anti-Islamic fervor by doing the following:

1)Friday, September 9, 2011……Khutba to center against terrorism and building societies of peace, justice and healing.

2)Saturday, September 10, 2011…..Open doors of mosques for interfaith peace-building, food and talks with Americans neighbors.

3)Sunday, September 11, 2011……Muslim organizations or individuals to buy advertisement in local newspapers and print a declaration similar to one shown below.

MUSLIM RESPONSE TO 9/11…10TH ANNIVERSARY

The followingis the Declaration we recommend to be printed in local newspapers all over the country. The cost may be shared by local organizations endorsing the Declaration by adding their names.
