-—FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE—-
 
(NEW YORK, NY, July 23, 2014) – The Islamic Circle of North America along with other major national American Muslim organizations today called for a two-day campaign “Dial For Justice: Demand Freedom for Gaza”.

Recent Israeli attacks have killed hundreds of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. The “pinpoint” operation has wiped out entire families, including more than 100 children. The UN has expressed grave concerns that Israel is violating international law by targeting civilians and bombing homes. Israel’s 7-year siege and economic blockade have reduced Gaza’s population to abject desperation.
DO YOUR PART. CALL TODAY:
White House (202) 456-1111.
Secretary of State John Kerry (202) 647-5291, press “1”.
Find your congressman or senator at www.govtrack.us.
TALKING POINTS
• Israel’s actions amount to collective punishment and are against international law.
• Hold Israel accountable for killing innocent civilians.
• End the siege on Gaza.
• Investigate the use of weapons purchased with US taxpayer money against civilians.
• Support for this aggression hurts our international standing and threatens our national security.
The call was issued by American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), Muslim American Society (MAS) & Muslim Ummah of North America (MUNA).

Message from Naeem Baig, President of ICNA:

These days yet again we are witnessing atrocities of unimaginable magnitude being inflicted upon the people of Gaza by the Israeli armed forces. Hundreds have perished because of the brutal Israeli air bombing and ground assault.
Today, marks the 10th day of this brutality and there is no end in sight. Our President blatantly took the Israeli side and fed it for Iftar to his Muslim guests last week at the White House Iftar.
I am requesting you to do the following:
1. Promote it through your email list and Facebook.
2. Print the flyer and distribute it tomorrow night and on Friday prayer.
3. If possible print a list and phone numbers of your Congresspersons.
4. Ask Imams to make this special announcement and encourage people to call right away.
5. If possible ask Imams to give 5 minutes after salatul Jumuah to people to make calls before leaving Masjid. Imam should lead setting the example.
Let us all make an all-out effort for the success of this calling campaign. May Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala, help the people of Gaza and give them freedom from this occupation. May Allah, subhanahu wa ta’ala, give shifa to the injured and sabr to all the people of Gaza.
Sincerely,
Naeem Baig
Ameer

  1. Can anyone Christian or Christian nation answer my
    questions. Will the Christians ask their governments including USA and European
    governments, predominantly Christian governments,(1) why in first place
    Israel has been created in a place where Islams third
    most sacred place is situated when the holocaust has actually happened
    midst of their nations? (2) Why all these Christian nations left
    Bethlehem, The birth place of Jesus Christ (PBUH), which should have been the
    most sacred to them also but created a Vatican away from Bethlehem? (3) Why the USA (Christian
    nation) supporting this Zionist regime? I am waiting for the true
    answers, lest they will definitely be answerable on the day of
    Judgement, if not in this world.
