"The attacks

on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon have put Islamic faith into

the news and into the minds of many Americans," a spokesperson said.

"Out of fear and misunderstanding, Mosques have been vandalized.

Also, American citizens of Middle Eastern descent and Arabs in the United

States legally have been harassed and cast under suspicion, causing them

to live in fear.

"The staff

of Community Christian hopes that teaching the basics of Islamic faith

and practice will help to drive out fear and increase understanding between

Jews, Christians and Muslims, drawing us together as citizens and as a

community."

The gathering

is open to anyone who wishes to attend.

Community Christian

is just west of Ga. Hwy. 314 on Kenwood Rd., about three miles north of

Fayetteville. For more information, call 770-460-9745.
