CAIR To Lend A Hand?

Perhaps a few photos of the WTC, the Pentagon or Pennsylvania.

How about stills of the MSU from USC Irvine declaring that Israel be wiped off the map?

Suggestions more than welcome, although please try to keep it civil.

CAIR LAUNCHES 'AMERICAN MUSLIM LEGACY' PHOTO PROJECT
Call for digital images designed to document Islam in America

(WASHINGTON, D.C., 2/6/07) - The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) today announced the launch of the "American Muslim Legacy Project," a digital publishing initiative designed to collect and preserve images of American Muslim life and history.

The Washington-based Islamic civil rights and advocacy group is seeking photographs that depict the American Muslim experience and will ultimately offer the images in an online database as an educational resource. CAIR will collect images that depict Islam's long history in America, the diversity of the American Muslim community, Muslim contributions to society, and Islamic religious practices.

"The American Muslim community has a rich and multifaceted history that needs to be documented and preserved," CAIR Communication Coordinator Rabiah Ahmed.

Ahmed added that the initiative is also designed to identify and recognize talented Muslim photographers.

The project is open to both amateur and professional photographers. Photos must be sent to CAIR in an electronic format with descriptive captions detailing the subject and time period of the pictures. Any submission must be free of copyright restrictions and will become the property of CAIR.
