Insights from Halil Demir about the book
Muslim charities in American society are clouded by fear and mistrust, but this state of affairs is not a mere coincidence. Individuals who exploit these fears and doubt often capitalize on misunderstandings to bolster anti-Islam measures within the nonprofit realm. They manipulate the public into accepting restrictive rules and strategies. All undermine their innate empathy, personal liberties, and rightful role as a moral authority in this nation.
Within the pages of this book, you will find narratives shared by the founding director of the Zakat Foundation of America. Drawing from authentic sources, these narratives dispel unfounded myths and misconceptions surrounding Islam and charitable acts. The book underscores the consequences if we continue allowing partisan interests to manipulate our actions based on these groundless fears. These nine myths resemble the spread of rumors in a schoolyard. Rapidly infecting our society with unjustified animosity towards Muslims and their charitable efforts. The repercussions of these falsehoods are extensive and detrimental to American interests.
However, the most adversely affected are the countless individuals in Chicago. Those who could benefit from assistance across the United States and globally are unjustly denied. If we fail to counteract these deliberate myths and the larger agendas fueling them, organizations like the Zakat Foundation of America. Others committed to humanitarian causes will perpetually face barriers to aiding and uplifting the marginalized. This book is essential for those engaged in philanthropy, donors, or anyone who cares about benevolent actions. It sheds light on the motivations of Muslim charities and the bold risks their members undertake. Their unwavering courage, vision, and pivotal role in the global humanitarian network. The choices that define our identity as the American people.
