Confused about Muslims? Give one a call

PR Jihad. I don't know how long this disinformation campaign has been going on, but it certainly is ambitious and widespread. The Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA) has placed billboards in over two dozen American cities with the line: "Confused about Muslims? Give one a call". Plainly, this is a major effort at disinformation and is part of stealth jihad.

The stated purpose of "WhyIslam" is supposedly to give non-Muslims truthful insight into Islam. In reality, it presents a sanitized, westernized version of the Koran that omits the violence and totalitrian nature of Islam.
This puff piece by Lindsay Wise gushes over the wonders of Islam, but neglects to mention ICNA's ties with The Muslim Brotherhood, the founding organization behind much of the Islamic terrorisn going on in the world.

Confused about Muslims? Give one a call
Billboard advertises toll-free information line

Ever wonder what the Quran has to say about terrorism? Why Muslim women wear veils? What Islam teaches about Jesus?
Ask a Muslim. All you have to do is call 1-877-WHY-ISLAM.
A billboard advertising the toll-free number sprang up last month on FM 1960 near Interstate 45. Similar ones have also been posted in San Antonio, Dallas, El Paso and two dozen other U.S. cities.

The billboards are part of a nationwide campaign by the Islamic Circle of North America to educate non-Muslims about Islam and promote interfaith dialogue.
Calls to the hot line are answered in New Jersey by ICNA volunteers, who field an average of 1,000 queries a month on everything from the life of the Prophet Muhammad to the definition of jihad. The billboard also advertises a Web site, www.whyislam.org, where people can e-mail questions, participate in discussion forums, request free copies of the Quran, or schedule a visit to a mosque.

“The idea was to help answer the questions that people have about Islam,” said ICNA board member Hanif Harris, a 38-year-old Realtor from Clear Lake. “This way, they’ll get the answers directly from Muslims.”
Harris, who grew up in Philadelphia, converted to Islam in 1991. Over the years, he’s often had to correct misconceptions about Islam among co-workers and family members.
