The purpose of Altmuslimah's visual campaign is to counteract the media's stereotypical portrayal of oppressed Muslim women. It aims to present Muslim women multi-dimensionally, figuratively speaking. The collection highlights the literary contributions of empowered Muslim American women; telling portraits of tenacious Muslim females, young and old; the purity of spiritual devotion; and the dynamics of positive gender interaction in Islam.
Pieces from the campaign will be on display at the annual Islamic Society of North America (ISNA) convention July 3-6 in Washington, DC.

NYPD: Spies, lies and propaganda films: New York City area community activists will be rallying this afternoon demanding the resignation of Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly and NYPD spokesperson, Paul Browne. They are also demanding independent community oversight of the NYPD as a series of Associated Press and New York Times reports have alleged that under Kelly the department not only overstepped legal and ethical boundaries by spying on its citizens, it may have done so without federal approval and its actions were based on institutionalized religious and racial discrimination. Amongst the evidence provided is Kelly’s participation in an anti-Muslim propaganda film The Third Jihad, a report that the film was used to train police officers and leaked documents indicating covert operations to spy on area Muslims.

Muslims and Catholics vs. Banzhaf: There are those who would learn that Catholic University of America, a private, Catholic institution, has doubled its Muslim student enrollment in just four years, and think happy thoughts about interfaith cooperation and growing religious harmony. Then there are those who see potential lawsuits, dollar signs, and fame. ()
