In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful

WASHINGTON, DC – Aug. 1, 2007 (MASNET) MAS Freedom (MASF), as the civic and human rights advocacy entity of the Muslim American Society (MAS), in conjunction with the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition and tens of thousands of your fellow Americans opposed to the war on Muslims abroad and at home, is calling upon the American Muslim community to come to Washington on September 15th for an "End the War" march and rally.

The "Stop the War" march and rally will fall on the third day of Ramadan (the Muslim month of fasting). MAS Freedom is planning a massive Iftar (the breaking of the fast) that evening in Lafayette Park across from the Whitehouse.

"We will break our fast with dates and water, feed the homeless and hungry, and pray for the homeless and hungry in the USA, Gaza, Iraq, South Asia, Africa, and throughout the world who are in need of bread not bombs," stated MAS Freedom Executive Director, Mahdi Bray.

Bray added, "It is most appropriate that during the blessed month of Ramadan, we contemplate on the Divine by standing for justice against occupation and oppression, and that is what this war is all about.  We call upon the Muslim community and all people of conscience, to join us in fasting and prayer in Washington, D.C. on September 15."
