Good Muslims

I have noticed that many of the people here (myself included) seem to concentrate on the bad when it comes to most religions. So I thought I would create a thread or two to document the good done by religious people.

Of course, anyone is welcome to contribute.

A fund set up by two US Muslims to raise money for desecrated Jewish cemeteries has raised almost $140,000 in a week.

Linda Sarsour and Tarek El-Messidi asked fellow Muslims to help them raise $20,000 to help rebuild two US graveyards that had been desecrated in anti-Semitic attacks – a goal that was reached within just three hours.

Within a day, $80,000 had been donated and, a week later, the figure stands at $139,000 (£112,000), with 4,610 people having given money.

Money will be donated to a Jewish cemetery in St Louis, Missouri, where around 100 headstones were destroyed, and one Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, where about 100 were vandalised.
