Muslim group honors 9/11 victims with blood drive
To honor victims of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community started the Muslims for Life Campaign, a nationwide blood drive. The blood drive will take place in the MSC on Thursday and Friday.
“The purpose behind launching the campaign was to honor the victims of 9/11 and to raise awareness about one basic teachings of Islam — that life is sacred,” said Naila Mubashir, a member of a women’s group associated with the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community.
Mubashir helps organize local blood drives under the Muslims for Life Campaign.
“It provides me an opportunity to let others know that Islam is a religion of peace, it is a religion of loyalty and it is a religion of helping everyone irrespective of their backgrounds,” Mubashir said.

9/11 is an incident which is a challenge attack wisely completed but leads to spoil harmony in the world and it is resulted to stamp muslims as terrors who have no aim but human blood as oxygen users. You can say it is the revenge towards USA civilians as they are villans to the victims. Nobody knows how they are converted from friends to foes. Why they changed the US to a dirty category. Prophet Muhammad (SAW) never asked to do so for expansion of muslim regime and thought. HE is courteous, kind, melodious, love, peace, great leader of this visible and unvisible world and universe. May ALLAH bless you. Ameen.
