Assalamu Alaykum Dear Friends,

Next week, the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), the largest Muslim
group in the US and Canada, is hosting the annual conference of the National
Temperance and Prohibition Council (NTPC).

The NTPC is an umbrella organization that includes extremist organizations
like the Prohibition Party, whose 2004 US Vice Presidential candidate is
also the NTPC president. Among other things, the Prohibition Party's
official platform includes racist immigration policies, pro-war positions,
and a call for Bible readings in public schools.

MWU! is urging you to send an email "WakeUp! Call" to ISNA's leaders
expressing your outrage at their sponsorship of such an event by going to
http://muslimwakeup.com/formmail/index2.php and filling out the quick and
easy WakeUp! Call form there.

Demand that ISNA cancel the event and that they distance themselves from
those positions.

For more information on the NTPC and the Prohibition Party, read "If Sober
Got Us This far, Pass Me a Cup Saqi" at:

Peace,
Ahmed
