A Way to Show Your Support for American Muslims

Are you concerned with the hate speech, confusion, and misinformation about American Muslims that has spread across the country in the last month?

The Quaker lobbying group Friends Committee on National Legislation (FCNL) is, and doing something about it by gathering signatories in support of the following statement.

I stand with American Muslims and their supporters in the Christian and Jewish faith who are planning to build an Islamic Cultural Center in downtown Manhattan.

I stand with American Muslims in exercising their freedom to gather and worship, as guaranteed by our U.S. Constitution.

As a people and as a country, we can continue this country’s project to build a more perfect union by welcoming the Islamic Cultural Center and helping it to become a reality.

As of today more than 7,000 people have signed this petition. The goal is to reach 11,000 by tomorrow, September 11.
