| [slm] I think it is extremely important that we all attend this rally. We need to show the American people that Muslims are part of the active scene and we need to network with all these organizations and show our support for our own organizations that will be representing ie MSA Natl etc. . These are people who out of their own conscience are working for peace and justice.. half our dawah is already over!!! btw for you west coasters: simultaneous rally in san francisco: http://www.internationalanswer.org/campaigns/april/contacts-sf.html |
