As Salaamu Alaikum, As difficult as it maybe to think about the underbelly of our society at times we must. It is important that we educate ourselves about issues such as domestic abuse and sexual assault in order to better protect ourselves and our children. Please review the petition at change.org titled End Domestic Abuse in the Islamic Community and sign it. Once signed we will send it along with materials to at least 100 of the top Islamic organizations, masjid and Islamic centers in the nation. The petition will be available to others who want to use it for similar campaigns in their state and or country. Please go to www.change.org/end_domestic_abuse_in_the_islamic_ community to sign. Hit the Sign Petition Button scroll down a little and fill in the signature box. Please sign, encourage others to sign and pass on, insh'Allah. ma salaam To: Muslim Leaders in Atlanta (Convenor of the Citywide Majhlis Ash Shura) and Muslim Leaders in the US (President ISNA) Subject: *Domestic Abuse Awareness Education in Local Masjid/Islamic Centers* Letter: As Salaamu Alaikum,, It is time for domestic abuse education to be given a priority in our community. It will only happen when we speak clearly and boldly about this issue and the urgency of this education being available in our community. Until this issue is brought out in the forefront and the taboo of mentioning it removed the cases of abuse and murders will continue in the US and all over the world. We ask that you use your influence with other leaders in our community to bring this issue to the forefront. -- Hadayai Majeed Peace Women Across the Globe Baitul Salaam Network, Inc.
