There was a story this morning on CNN about a group called My Faith My Voice. They are a "grass-roots effort by American Muslims from across the country." They have put together a commercial that as of right now is only on youtube. They are trying to raise money to put it on the air. I have watched the video and it is well put together and gives a common message. "Just because we are muslim does not make us terrorists." I think this commercial sends a positive message that i fear too many Americans are either to ignorant or to afraid to listen to. This is proven by two other news stories in the past weeks. first is the controversy over the "Ground-Zero Mosque" which is 2 blocks away. The second is a local story from here in TN. The construction site of a local Muslim Center was vandalized and the construction equipment was set on fire. Honestly this makes no sense to me. If you keep them from building the center, does that mean they will no longer practice their religion? Well I dont know, if i come and burn down your church will you stop praying to god? Please check out the video below and try to keep an open mind about the world we live in...
For all future reference I am not trying to offend anyone but sometimes religious sects can be so pugnacious...
Commercial link from above... Since CNN did not include the link....
