Help us raise awareness about the positive role played by American Muslims!

Muslims are under attack

American Muslims clearly and constantly denounce extremism and terrorism. Yet nobody wants to hear their voices, and for the last few months a wave of Islamophobia has cascaded across America, manifesting itself in demagogic rhetoric that demonizes Muslims and Islam itself. Over the last eighteen months, more than a hundred anti-Muslim acts (hate crimes, attacks on Muslims or Mosques) were perpetrated in the United States.

Help us spread the word that Muslims Are Speaking Out against extremism!

Help us spread the word about the positive role of American Muslims!

Authors of inflammatory rhetoric claim that Muslims are silent or accomplices of terrorism and extremism.

BUT... #MASO - Muslims Are Speaking Out Against terrorism, violence and negative perceptions about Islam

“Muslims Are Speaking Out” - #MASO is a national social media campaign featuring Muslims and non-Muslims including leaders, scholars and celebrities (see TV producer Norman Lear's quote) who make the case in their own words as to how immoral and un-American Islamophobia truly is.

The campaign is directed against the canard that Muslims do not speak out against terrorist attacks committed by extremists falsely claiming to speak in the name of Islam. It will cite the overwhelming condemnation of terrorist violence by virtually all American Muslim leaders and organizations. It will also showcase the sustained efforts by American Muslims leaders or activists to prevent the radicalization of young Muslims and to nurture ties with Jews, Christians and other faith communities.

The TRUTH is:

American Muslims are speaking out against terrorism and fanaticism, clearly and consistently.
American Muslims are in the forefront of the fight against radicalization and extremism.
Muslim populations have been among the first victims of terrorism in the Middle East, Europe and here in the U.S.
Muslim citizens of the United States are an asset to our nation. They include heroes such as Capt. Humayun Khan, or role models such as Olympic fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, the late Mohammed Ali, Congressman Keith Ellison, Congressman Andre Carson...
