The holy city of Jerusalem is under siege.

Jerusalem – the home of Al Aqsa mosque and the Dome of the Rock, where Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) lead all prophets in prayer before his ascent into heaven - is a part of the heritage of all Muslims. It is our duty to act to protect it. No effort is too small. When enough of us take action – from educating ourselves and talking to our neighbors to writing our members of Congress – we will create an indomitable force that will affect U.S. foreign policy change and help end the occupation of Jerusalem and all of Palestine, inshaAllah.
