THE MOSQUE OF ISLAMIC BROTHERHOOD,MUSLIMS IN NYC, AND 9-11

As-Salaamu 'Alaikum wa Rahmatullah

During this, the 10th year anniversary of the tragedy of 9-11, we continue to correct the false narrative around Muslims in NYC and how we have responded over the years. For first installments on what will be a gradual building of a web-site on that subject, go to mibnyc.com to see:

1- An interview with a Muslim first responder from MIB
2- A Muslim 9-11 survivor of destruction of the twin towers

Much more to come between now and next year, insha'Allah

peace and power,
Imam Talib
