Community Announcement

Al-Farooq Masjid wishes to thank everyone for the overwhelming support being shown by Muslims, as well as the inter-faith community, with regard to the planned rally against Islam this weekend.  We are in close contact with law enforcement agencies and participated in national calls on the subject.  The Masjid has designated a spokesperson to talk to the media and authorities if needed.  We feel there is no need for a counter demonstration or special assembly near the Masjid.  We must remain dignified and honorable by respecting the law and allowing our conduct speak on our behalf.  We must not engage with demonstrators or involve ourselves in slogan mongering, shouting or interaction of any sort.  MashaAllah there is a huge body of support for us in the community at large. In the end, remember we are all servants of Allah and He is our Helper and Protector.
