Place advertisement in your local paper
You or your organization can place ads at your local papers. Sometimes as a local resident or organization you may receive an extremely low token rate, especially for your community papers. We have designed a couple of ads that can be resized to fit different formats. Let us know the ad size, and we will email you "ready artwork". We can design other ads, or you can help us design one - God willing, above contest will produce excellent ideas.
We list all the major Islamic Centers on our site, and direct local inquiries resulting from your advertisement back to your area. If you don't see your Islamic Center listed on our site, but it is part of the Shura council, just let us know and we will add it.
Business & bumper sticker Campaign
Have you been to a Muslim store lately? Look at the front doors, or windows. There is a good chance you will see Muslim Bridges Stickers. Just like Visa and MasterCard stickers, but a bit larger in size with positive messages about Islam.
One way you can stand behind President Carter and his efforts for Peace in the M. East, is simply to purchase his book "Palestine, Peace, Not Apartheid", read it, then pass it on to a friend, and ask some of your friends to do the same. You can purchase this book from your local book store (like Barns and Nobel), or from many online shops (such as Amazon.com).

All humans are dead except those who have knowledge; and all those who have knowledge are asleep, except those who do good deeds; and those who do good deeds are deceived, except those who are sincere.[Imam Shaf'i]
