Peace be upon you
Some Muslim groups and organizations took positive steps
in reaction to Katrina hurricane. Beside offering
condolences to the loved ones of those who died, they urged
American Muslims to offer assistance to alleviate the
suffering of people impacted by the devastating Hurricane
Katrina
In response to the terrible tragedy unfolded by Hurricane
Katrina in Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama, the Islamic
Society of North America (ISNA) has launched the ISNA
Katrina Relief Fund.
ISNA has made the initial donation of $20,000 from its own
resources. “We appeal to all Muslims to help the victims of
Katrina to the best of their ability, through contributions
and through helping the refugees resettle and rebuild their
lives and livelihood.”
A prominent national Islamic civil rights and advocacy
group called on mosques and Islamic centers nationwide to
collect donations for hurricane disaster relief following
Islamic congregational prayers (Jumah) on Friday.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) asked that
the funds collected be sent to the American Red Cross or
other relief groups offering assistance to the victims of
Hurricane Katrina
I think that how Muslims and also non-Muslims should react
towardssuch atrocities.
Any ideas or comments!
