Campaign to Register Muslim Voters Begins
WASHINGTON--The Council on American-Islamic Relations has started a campaign to register more than 100,000 Muslim voters before the November elections.
The effort began on Eid al-Adha, the Islamic Feast of Sacrifice, which comes at the end of the annual pilgrimage to Mecca. Voter registration drives were planned for California, Washington, D.C., Michigan, Missouri and Ohio.
Since Sept. 11, the council has encouraged Muslims to express their opinions to policymakers.
