Muslims lead blood drives to repair rift

[Meesna]

PALMYRA — When nearly 3,000 people perished at the World Trade Center, the Pentagon and in a Pennsylvania field a decade ago, the perception of Muslims and the religion they’ve practiced for centuries went from bad to worse.

While the horrific events of that day can never be reversed, a group of Muslims is engaged this month in a nationwide blood drive to change the perception of Islam from a religion associated with violence to one that values life.
On Sunday, those efforts continued locally, with a blood drive at the Islamic Center of South Jersey in Palmyra.

“Irrespective of what faith or religion we are, this was an attack on America,” said Imran Bhutta, who helped coordinate the drive at the center. “We as Americans feel solidarity with our fellow Americans, particularly with the victims of 9/11.”

The goal of the blood drive dubbed “Muslims for Life” is to collect 10,000 units of blood from people across the country. Organizers expect the donations to help save 30,000 lives — or 10 times the number of lives lost because of the actions of radical Muslims.

Interesting - our islamican brigades have not made their way to this thread to claim the religion of peace - what could be behind this failure? What explains this lack of appreciation by our islamicans?

You are one hell of a loser depressed guy. But remember your attempts on being more whiter than the white are going to bear no fruit.

good step by the Muslims living in US. A step forward to changing the false misunderstanding about Islam.

I love it!

Why have so many other "muslims" stayed away from this thread? Something positive and no interest by "muslims"?

A great first step to eradicate the mistrust and misconceptions regarding musllims. If successful this could be repeated in other nations and other communities.

Well after only this, that Chaudary guy in UK will make a speech on how Islam plans to kill infidels and all this good effort goes to waste.
