It really is not a new phenomenon. Islamophobia has been present since the beginning of the ministry of our beloved Prophet Muhammad. The twisting of our image became, perhaps, an academic discipline of its own during the Crusades. It is the same today but has simply evolved. In fact, the very same arguments against Islam used centuries ago have been rehashed, albeit in a more sophisticated packaging, across airwaves and in nearly every headline. The time has come for a new grassroots media, one that represents Muslims in America. Such a media will seek to illuminate the consciousness of the masses and to dispel misperceptions among the common people, otherwise unknowing to our faith. Without your support and sponsorship, independent Islamic media cannot be established, let alone exist. This is your opportunity to either lift your voice or help to lift the voices within the new media network.
