From the Muslim Resurce center:

Greetings of Peace!

Dear Friends and Supporters of the Islamic Resource Group,

In the past few years, we've had the pleasure of coming to your facility to present on the various topics of Islam, to help educate your employees, students, neighbors, congregation, and more. Thank you for extending such a wonderful opportunity.

Now, we would like to invite you to explore the historical presence of Muslims in the state of Minnesota. IRG had the opportunity to partner with the Minnesota Historical Society to create an oral and pictoral video that captures the Minnesota Muslim experience. <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

Historical records indicate a Muslim presence in Minnesota going as far back as the 1880s.Yet very little exists in the record about the personal experiences of Muslim Minnesotans. Minnesota Muslims are making an ever growing impact on the affairs of the state and the nation – from the first Muslim Congressman to the largest Somali Muslim population in the US. Capturing the experience of Minnesota Muslims through their own voices is not only crucial for relaying an integral part of Minnesota history to future generations, but also as an invaluable tool for Minnesotans to understand the religions and cultures of their neighbors
