In the multi-year initiative, American Muslims will sponsor Qurans for distribution to governors, state attorney generals, educators, law enforcement officials, state and national legislators, local elected and public officials, media professionals, and other local or national leaders who shape public opinion or determine policy.

Larry Shaw (NC). The “Share the Quran” initiative is an outgrowth of CAIR’s successful “Explore the Quran” campaign and is part of the celebration of the Washington-based council’s 15th anniversary. CAIR was founded in June of 1994. CAIR, America's largest Muslim civil liberties and advocacy organization, has 35 offices and chapters nationwide and in Canada. Its mission is to enhance the understanding of Islam, encourage dialogue, protect civil liberties, empower American Muslims, and build coalitions that promote justice and mutual understanding. *- END -* CONTACT: CAIR National Communications Director Ibrahim Hooper, 202-488-8787, 202-744-7726, E-Mail: [email protected]; CAIR Communications Coordinator Amina Rubin, 202-488-8787, 202-341-4171, E-Mail: [email protected] Update email preferences<http://crm.cair.com/site/R?i=zQ52ZE0WmQdFiIuGuQrWuA..>| Unsubscribe<http://crm.cair.com/site/CO?i=6Zi1Rua9beZByNlcvaYFimZJvOQc5QmB&cid=1061>| Forward to a friend <http://crm.cair.com/site/R?i=6WVVTKrLc3rh91uIMzjWrg..> | Visit our web site <http://crm.cair.com/site/R?i=kLi1WUU_gTgoGe1wWJivoQ..> Council on American-Islamic Relations 453 New Jersey Ave, S.E., Washington, D.C., 20003 Council on American-Islamic Relations Copyright © 2008 All rights reserved.
