When we think about Islam, one of the first things that we think of is terrorism. There may be other things that come to mind, but usually that is the first. It is hard not to think in such a way with ISIS and Hamas dominating the Mainstream news. Well, there is a group of Muslims in Charlotte NC that is trying to change that perception.
Fox 46 reports:
The Quran Mobile is rolling around Charlotte and Muslims hope it educates people about their faith.
Concerned about the public’s perception of Islam after radical Islamic terrorists like ISIS have dominated the news cycle, Charlotte Muslims with the American Islamic Outreach Center wanted to take action.
The group, American Islamic Outreach Center is a part of the foundation by the same name. Their main headquarters are in Franklin NC. This group has been quietly active in the Charlotte area. Working with Habitat for Humanity, distributing food to the needy, partnering with a Hindu group, and many other efforts. Now the Outreach Center wishes to reach more people through the Mobile Quran.
