"Had We sent down this Quran on a mountain, you would certainly have seen it falling down, splitting asunder because of the fear of God, and We set forth these parables to men that they may reflect." Qu'ran 59:21
Shura Council congratulates all the high school and college graduates who received awards for academic excellence and Islamic learning. Many students were also awarded a total of $18,500 in scholarships at the Muslim Graduation Ceremony. Details will be available next week.
The high priest of televangelism, Rev. Pat Robertson declares "Muslims are the new Nazis" in a recent interview. Several years ago he also said "Islam is not a religion." While we know Rev. Robertson's rants are not reflective of Christianity we feel he needs to be politely reminded. Please take a minute and call 1-800-759-0700 and record your concern. Ignore the initial auto recording and wait until the operator picks up and simply register your concern for the reckless remarks by Rev. Pat Robertson.
