My Fellow American .. Breaking the Barriers .. Refuting Misconceptions

We all know what is the perception nowadays when mentioning some words such as : [Islam - Sharia'a - Hijab - Jihad - ..etc.] , some people build a perception about these words basically from what they hear about from Media, headlines, biased writers and random inaccurate words said here and there, but sadly very few people get to dig deeper and know more about Muslims and Islam from the Correct References.

This mistrust, discrimination, victimizing ourselves and wrongly stereotyping any group resulted in divided torn apart nations, where people failed to live peacefully with each other, each one is considering others as threat imposters and not giving ourselves a chance to listen, just listen, in a trial to spot commonalities and be one integrated nation and deliberately overcoming our diversity.

Yes we do have different numerators,however, we can find a common denominator that group us all.

UPF (Unity Productions Foundation ) started an initiative as a pursuit to truly listen to each other and try to know one another

This initiative is called: My Fellow American Project,



Most Americans have never met an American Muslim. Many only know Muslims through the way they are portrayed in the media. American Muslims are so often vilified as “the other” that it is possible not to recognize that most were born in the U.S. Or that those who immigrated here came seeking the same freedoms and opportunities that have always attracted people to America.
Muslims are our fellow Americans, who today face threats to their civil rights and even their personal safety because of the fearful and often hateful rhetoric that would not be tolerated were it uttered about any other minority group.
