Muslim Charities Collect Money To Help Rebuild Black, Christian Churches Destroyed By Fire

n an effort of compassion, sympathy and typical human concern, Muslim charitable organizations are raising money to help African Americans rebuild churches that were the target of arson in the United States.

There have been eight black churches torched since the deadly Charleston Massacre that left nine innocent people dead while practicing their faith in the historic AME Church of Charleston. Dylann Roof was the physcopath responsible for the shootings.

“ALL houses of worship are sanctuaries, a place where all should feel safe, a place we can seek refuge when the world is too much to bear. We are calling on you to help add our support to faith communities across the country pooling their resources to rebuild these churches.”
