New billboards in Phoenix aim to educate about Islam
The Islamic Circle of North America recently put up billboards
The US city of Phoenix, Arizona, is getting three new billboards as part of a national campaign designed to raise awareness about the Islamic religion.
The Islamic Circle of North America recently put up billboards in several cities, including two in Phoenix.
The idea is to counter negative images of Islam and dispel myths about Muslims.
The billboards also are important for people to understand that Islam and the life of the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him and his progeny, which are about compassion, mercy, helping the poor and needy.
The three new billboards join two other that are already in place — one on Interstate 17 near the Bethany Home Road exit, the other farther north near the Glendale Avenue exit.
