[jsteele]

In a nice interfaith effort, Muslim-Americans have raised over $90,000 to help rebuild black churches that were burned in the wake of the Emanuel AME Church shooting:

Nice to see.

I actually know one of the people spearheading that campaign, and they have gone to mosques, muslim events, businesses ect raising money to rebuild the churches since the event happened. The amount raised is at over $100k now, but of course there isn't a lot of media publicity about it.

+1 Next time my Islamophobe uncle tells me how Islam and Christianity are diametrically opposed to each other, I can tell him about this.

Fantastic story. Thanks for sharing. The media is so screwed up. You'll never see this on primetime news.
