ICNA MN Will Try To Educate Fair-Goers On Islam

The Great Minnesota Get-Together could be educational for thousands of fair-goers even before they walk through the gates.

 

A Minnesota group will try to educate fair-goers about the Muslim religion.

 


Volunteers with the Islamic Circle of North America say they will hand out cards titled “Islam Explained” because they want people to know what it means to be Muslim. While the group doesn’t have a licensed booth space to operate on the fairgrounds, it can still take advantage of the crowds. The group will be stationed outside gates 10 and 20.

 

Social Media
The group says the outreach effort in Minnesota has nothing to do with the proposed Islamic community center near Ground Zero in Manhattan, which has caused national controversy.

 

St. Paul police tell 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS the volunteers can hand out literature on the sidewalks as long as they don’t block the sidewalks.

 

The group also has radio ads that will start airing Monday. Those ads will include a number people can call to ask questions about Islam.

    What does the card that was passed out say?

    Assalamo Alaikum;
    I like the idea of passing out leaflets to the fair-goers.

    Would you please send me a copy of the leaflet/card titled “Islam Explained”. I would like to do something similar here in Houston.

    Wassalam
