American Muslims Release PSA in Response to NY Mosque Controversy
August 25, 2010A grassroots coalition of American Muslims announced today it will release a public service announcement (PSA) in response to the controversy over plans to build a Muslim-led community center and prayer facility in New York City, and the rising tide of fear-mongering it has engendered, on Monday, August 30, at a press conference in Washington, D.C. The PSA will showcase American Muslims of diverse ages and backgrounds responding to the fears and concerns many Americans may have about Islam and Muslims. Once the PSA is publicly released, American Muslims from around the country will be encouraged to support the campaign by creating their own version of the same PSA and uploading it to www.myfaithmyvoice.com. They will also ask others to contact local PSA directors and request the airing of the PSA in their respective markets. Full release.
