As Imam Suhaib Webb stated:

“Dawud Israel July 22nd, 2008 at 10:51 pm
Br. Azeem how do you think us bloggers could help out? ”

Calling all Bloggers:

People should put Imam Siraj’s name, ‘not indicted co-conspirator and prosecutor clarifies’
that would flood the web and google out the neo cons lies and distortions

“Everyone who has a blog should find a nice video from imam Siraj Wahhaj on youtube, embed it and make sure to put his name in the subject so when someone searches his name on blog search engines they are flooded with his awesome lectures.”

NYPost did a great service, LOL.

They made the campaign famous.

It would be much harder to get CNN coverage w/o NYPost.

I think for bloggers we should have a uniform post which we take and adjust slightly and everyone puts it up on their blog. I will work on that. Heck the Little Green Footballs and the JihadWatches are having a field day with this stuff! For all Muslims out there think of this as your project. So whoever believes in this should donate something and secondly should take out a few minutes to throw it up on their blog. Thats the only way to curb the hate machine.

The great thing about these campaigns is that it can be replicated locally. For Canada I would say contact ICNA Canada http://www.icnacanada.ca and tell them you would like to set up a why-islam ad campaign. It would be more effective to work with them (funding, volunteer base etc).

What is the process for getting these advertisements into our cities?
