Got questions about Islam? Hotline has answers
NEWARK, N.J. (RNS) Like many American Muslims, Asim Khan is tired of the
prejudice against his religion.
The president of the New Jersey chapter of the Islamic Circle of
North America welcomes the curiosity. But he wishes those with questions
about Islam would ask him or other Muslims before jumping to
conclusions.
"Rather than absorb knowledge from Fox News, we invite people to
come hear it from the horse's mouth. We invite them to ask us what our
faith is about," Khan said. "There is a lot of curiosity about Islam,
but also misinformation, uncertainty, and a sense of fear in approaching
us."
