ISNA
Endorses MPAC’s Anti-Terrorism Campaign
The Muslim Public
Affairs Council has announced the endorsement
of its National Anti-Terrorism campaign by
the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA),
the largest Islamic organization in the US
representing over 600 mosques. The campaign
was launched earlier this year in response
to the Justice Department’s announcement
of an impending terrorist attack and recommends
substantive steps American mosques can take
to protect themselves, the nation, and the
American Muslim community.
“MPAC
hopes to partner with mosques across the nation
in implementing the security measures outlined
in the campaign.
“MPAC
is pleased to partner with ISNA, one of the
most respected Islamic organizations in the
world, and finds its assistance in our efforts
to establish a nationwide network of partnering
mosques to be invaluable. ISNA’s endorsement,
and more importantly its partnership, is a
momentous occasion in the history of the American
Muslim community. It represents the unified
effort of major national Muslim organizations
and grassroots communities in taking a strong
stand against terrorism and making substantive
efforts to protect our nation,” the
announcement says.
