Through information handouts, Muslims in South California are reaching out to their broader community at the state's public fair.
CAIRO — Through information handouts, Qur'an copies and answers to questions on common misconceptions, Muslims at South California are reaching out to their broader community at the state's public fair.
"We want to show that we are part of this community," Arshad Khan of the Sacramento Chapter of Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) told the Sacramento Bee daily on Monday, August 18.
"What better way to show that than coming to the State Fair, which gets people of all different backgrounds?"
Visitors of the California Public Fair, running from August 15 until September 1, get to know Islam through the "WhyIslam" information booth.
During the fair, to be attended by approximately 900,000 people, Muslim volunteers are on hand to answer questions, pass out brochures and give away copies of the Noble Qur'an.
Approximately 900,000 people are expected to attend the annual state fair.
