You may have seen in the newspaper or even heard on radio that the Islamic Center of Temecula Valley has proposed a new Mosque to be built on Nicholas Rd in Temecula. Unfortunately there are many who do not agreed that the Mosque should be built there and are doing what they can to object to it.
At our last IF Council Meeting on July 8th we brought up this subject for discussion. All present voted in favor of supporting the Muslims in the construction of their new Mosque.
It has come to our attention that those who oppose the Mosque will be holding a demonstration in front of the current Islamic Center located at 42188 Rio Nedo, Temecula on this Friday, July 30th. This demonstration will be held during the Friday prayer time. Demonstrators will bring dogs and dress immodestly as a insult to the Muslims.
We invite all members of the Interfaith Council to come to the Center on Friday to show support for freedom of religion and our Muslim friends. It is suggested that we wear white shirts to show unity. Please arrive at 12:00-12:15 pm. We expect to be there until 1:45 pm.
We do not want to do anything controversial or provocative or engage in arguments with the demonstrators.
Please let me know if you can attend.
Thanks,
Larry Slusser
